MINNEAPOLIS – If Francis Ngannou didn’t get a bonus for his UFC on ESPN 3 performance, then the system must have gotten broken somewhere along the way. But Ngannou (14-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) did, in fact, earn a Performance of the Night award after needing just 1:11 to finish former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos (21-5 MMA, 15-4 UFC) in the evening’s main event. Ngannou earned an extra $50,000 for his efforts. As did Joseph Benavidez , Alonzo Menifield , and Eryk Anders , during an evening in which the company went with four performance bonuses and skipped Fight of the Night. Benavidez (28-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC), for his part, put on an impressive show in finishing Jussier Formiga (24-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) for the second time, which seems to earn him the inside track on a fight with bantamweight/flyweight champ-champ Henry Cejudo
