FORTALEZA, Brazil – In addition to winning “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2″ on Saturday with a win over fellow finalist William Macario at UFC on FUEL TV 10, Leonardo Santos earned a $25,000 bonus. Santos’ semifinal-round fight with Santiago Ponzinibbio was picked as the “Fight of the Season,” and both welterweights picked up $25,000 bonuses because of it. Santos, in fact, actually lost the fight via decision. But when Ponzinibbio wasn’t medically cleared to compete in the final because of a broken hand suffered in the bout, Santos got the fight instead. Then, in the UFC on FUEL TV 10 co-headliner at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, he submitted fellow finalist William Macario to win the “TUF: Brazil 2″ tournament. However, all wasn’t lost for Ponzinibbio. In addition to his “Fight of the Season” bonus, he picked up an additional $25,000 for the “Knockout of the Season” thanks to his elimination-round win over Marcio Santos . The “Submission of the Night” bonus went to Luiz Dutra for his elimination-round win over Pedro Irie .
