For their show stealing, three-round brawl, victorious Canadian Steve Bosse and his willing opponent Sean O'Connell were awarded Fight of The Night.

"Sean has a good chin, because I hit him a lot with big shots," said Bosse.  "I'm happy we gave a good show for the fans and that's what I want when I go in the cage, so I'm happy with that fight."

Krzysztof Jotko needed just under a minute to stiffen Tamdan McCrory with a hard punch and hammer fists and earn his victory and Performance of the Night bonus.

"I feel amazing, Joe Silva gave me a test and that test was my best work," said Jotko after his victory.

The second Performance of the Night bonus went to co-main eventer Donald Cerrone, who became the first fighter to finish Canadian Patrick Cote with strikes and the first to finish him in any fashion since 2010.

UFC's most active fighter was already turning his eyes to his next opportunity to get back in the cage.

"I like (155), I like (170)," said Cerrone. "Whatever the fastest trip to the next fight is. So if it's 55 or 70, that's the route I'm going."

All four fighters earn $50 thousand for their fight bonus.
