UFC 314 Bonuses: Paddy Pimblett banks a check for dominating performance

Following the UFC 314 fights inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., UFC CEO Dana White announced the bonus winners from the fight card. 

The event was headlined by a featherweight title bout between former titleholder Alexander Volkanovski and No. 3 ranked Diego Lopes. The fight went the distance and Volkanovski regain the 145-pound championship via unanimous decision. Both fighters had big moments in the bout and earned 'Fight of the Night' honors. 

Two other 'Performance of the Night' bonuses were awarded by the fight promotion. The co-main event featured a lightweight match between former title challenger Michael Chandler and England's Paddy Pimblett.  Pimblett dominated the veteran and finished the fight via TKO in the third round. Pimblett banked an extra $50,000 and picked up the biggest win of his career. 

The second 'Performance of the Night' bonus went to featherweight Jean Silva for his second-round submission win over Bryce Mitchell. Silva requested to fight Mitchell after hearing Mitchell's controversial comments about Hitler. After hurting Mitchell with strikes on their feet, Silva was able to lock on a ninja choke that put Mitchell to sleep as he tapped out.
