UFC Vegas 33 Bonus Report: Jason Witt and Bryan Barberena awarded FOTN

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 33 event, a ten-bout fight card headlined by Uriah Hall vs. Sean Strickland.

The highly anticipated middleweight main event turned out to be a rather one sided affair. While Uriah Hall showed a ton of heart in fighting for the full twenty-five minutes, he had little to offer Strickland this evening. Instead, Sean Strickland shined in his first career UFC main event outpointing ‘Prime Time’ for the majority of their five-round contest on route to a unanimous decision victory.

In the co-main event of UFC Vegas 33, women’s strawweight fighters Cheyanne Buys and Gloria de Paula squared off in hopes of moving up the promotions ranks. The bout ended in stunning fashion after Buys was able to connect with a head kick just as Gloria was getting up from the canvas.

Following the conclusion of today’s event, UFC officials announced at the post-fight press conference that four fighters would be taking home performance bonuses.
