Glover Teixeira and Ovince Saint Preux are heading home with an extra $50,000, as the light-heavyweight’s earned “Fight of The Night” honors at UFC Fight Night 73.

The memorable bout saw OSP hurt Teixeira early on with strikes, before the latter turned to his wrestling and top game. Teixeira ended up finishing the bout in round three, by putting Saint Preux to sleep with a rear-naked-choke.

The “Performance of the Night” bonuses went to Amanda Nunes and Marlon Vera.

Nunes tapped out fellow bantamweight contender Sara McMann with a RNC in round one, and Vera submitted bantamweight Roman Salazar with a triangle-choke in round two.

UFC FN 73 took place in Nashville, Tennessee.
