Pimblett didn't waste any time, hitting a submission on Benoît Saint Denis in a lightweight bout inside a minute, clocking in at a ridiculous 52 seconds. King Green wasn't far behind, earning a TKO win over Terrance McKinney right as the first round was wrapping up. Talk about making a statement with your fists! That kind of quick, decisive action is exactly what earns you a six-figure bonus. You gotta respect it when fighters step up and deliver like that.Fight of the Night Delivers the Goods
But wait, there's more! Brandon Royval and Lone'er Kavanagh also walked away with a six-figure payday for putting on the Fight of the Night.

These guys left it all out there, and the fans, and the UFC, definitely noticed. Meanwhile, the word on the street is that Conor McGregor picked up an injury in his return fight at UFC 329. That's definitely a bummer to hear for his fans. We'll be keeping an eye out for more details on that front.
