Also, Kay Hansen, who scored a third round submission win over former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Jinh Yu Frey and Julian Erosa, who scored a third round submission win over Sean Woodson, picked up an extra $50,000 each for Performances Of The Night.
Much like all the other UFC events during the coronavirus pandemic, there are no live gates and or attendance, since all the shows are held in an empty arena setting.
Up next for the UFC is UFC 251 on July 11, which is going to be headlined by a trio of title bouts in the welterweight, featherweight and bantamweight divisions.
