Filed under: Featured , News , UFC LAS VEGAS – Demetrious Johnson , John Moraga , Bobby Green and Lando Vannata each earned $50,000 fight-night bonuses at Saturday’s UFC 216 event. Johnson and Moraga earned “Performance of the Night” awards, and Green and Vannata took home “Fight of the Night” honors. UFC officials announced the winners after the event, which MMAjunkie attended. Johnson (27-2-1 MMA, 15-1-1 UFC) broke Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive UFC title defenses when he submitted Ray Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) with a fifth-round armbar. Johnson was cruising to an easy unanimous decision to defend his flyweight belt for the 11th straight time. But almost out of nowhere, he threw Borg in the air, then deftly grabbed his left arm at the same time before finishing on the ground .
