At UFC Fight Night 227, five fighters who secured finishes inside the distance received a little something extra. Raul Rosas Jr., Daniel Zellhuber, Lupita Godinez, Roman Kopylov, and Charlie Campbell each garnered $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonuses for their work inside the Octagon at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Raul Rosas Jr. and Daniel Zellhuber
Rosa Jr. rebounded from his first career defeat in style, as the 18-year-old Dana White’s Contender Series alum scored a 54-second technical knockout victory against Terrence Mitchell in a featured bantamweight tilt. Meanwhile, Zellhuber shook off a slow start to submit Christos Giagos with an anaconda choke 3:26 into Round 2 of their main-card lightweight clash.
Lupita Godinez, Roman Kopylov, and Charlie Campbell
Godinez closed out the prelims with a dominant effort against Elise Reed, as she tapped her foe with a rear-naked choke 3:30 into the second frame of a strawweight clash. Kopylov vanquished Josh Fremd with a punch to the body at the 4:44 mark of Round 2 in a middleweight pairing. Finally, Campbell spoiled the return of Alex Reyes with a technical knockout victory 3:38 into the opening stanza of their lightweight encounter.
