UFC Mexico City witnessed rising stars David Martinez and Ateba Gautier, among others, being rewarded for their spectacular finishes.
Four `Performance of the Night` bonuses, each worth $50,000, were awarded at Arena CDMX in Mexico City to Martinez, Gautier, Edgar Chairez, and Manuel Torres.
Martinez and Gautier, recent signees from Dana White’s Contender Series, had outstanding UFC debut performances, both achieving impressive knockouts.
Martinez swiftly defeated Saimon Oliveira with strikes in the first round, while Gautier also secured a first-round knockout against Jose Daniel Medina in the prelims.
Edgar Chairez emotionally celebrated his bonus after a quick submission victory over CJ Vergara with a rear-naked choke.
Manuel Torres, known for earning bonuses, added another to his record by finishing veteran Drew Dober in under two minutes, marking his fourth UFC bonus.
