UFC Vegas 119 Bonuses: Four main card standouts pocket $100K
Manel Kape claimed revenge and a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus at UFC Vegas 119, defeating Kyoji Horiguchi via third-round TKO in the main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday. Kape's visceral finish came 2:42 into Round 3 after he landed a counter right hand that buckled Horiguchi, then attacked his downed opponent with a series of strikes including an uppercut from behind that forced the stoppage. The win avenged a submission loss Kape suffered to Horiguchi in 2017 under the Rizin banner.
Promotional newcomer Murtazali Magomedov also earned $100,000 for Performance of the Night after a dominant featherweight debut. Magomedov submitted Melsik Baghdasaryan just 1:17 into Round 1 with a twister, making it only the fourth such submission finish in UFC history.
Vinicius Oliveira and Andre Fili captured Fight of the Night honors worth $100,000 each for their featherweight clash. Fili controlled the early rounds with heavy body kicks, but "LokDog" Oliveira rallied to finish the Team Alpha Male veteran with a barrage of punches and elbows against the cage 4:56 into the second round.
