The UFC handed out sixty-thousand-dollar bonuses for the best performances of UFC 118 in Boston.
The prize for best fight went to Cesar Gracie student Nate Diaz and his opponent Marcus Davis. Marcus held out bravely, despite the damage to his face in the opening round. However, he succumbed to a tight guillotine from Nate at 4:02 minutes of the third round.
“I feel good, but I think I broke my hand in the second round,” announced Diaz, now will a heftier sum in his bank account.
Best submission went to Joe Lauzon for his armbar over Gabe Ruediger.
This time there was no best knockout award, as there was no knockout in the event.
