WINNIPEG – James Krause scored $100,000 while Shawn Jordan and Sam Stout each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC 161 event. Jordan earned the “Knockout of the Night” award, Krause picked up the “Submission of the Night” bonus, and Krause and Stout each earned “Fight of the Night” honors. UFC President Dana White announced the bonuses at the night’s post-fight press conference, which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) attended. UFC 161 took at MTS Centre in Winnipeg. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook. Fighting in Canada for the first time since a disappointing (and unentertaining) loss to Cheick Kongo at UFC 149, Jordan made a statement against Pat Barry . Wasting little time in looking to trade on the feet, Jordan rocked Barry with a pair of uppercuts before finishing him off with brutal ground-and-pound blows on the floor.
