UFC Vegas 64 Bonus Report: Neil Magny takes home $50k for record-setting win

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 64 event, an eleven-bout fight card headlined by Marina Rodriguez vs. Amanda Lemos.

Tonight’s women’s strawweight main event resulted in a third round TKO victory for Amanda Lemos. The opening round was very closely contested but Lemos began to pull away in round two. Then, in round three, Amanda finished the fight by landing a big flurry that clearly had Rodriguez stunned (see that here).

The bout resulted in a third-round finish for the veteran in Magny, who locked in a d’arce choke to finish off ‘D-Rod’ in the final frame (see that here). With the win, Magny now holds the record for the most welterweight wins in UFC history.

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.
