The performance of the night bonuses went to a pair of head-kicks, the first to Cheyanne Buys for her sweet head-kick knockout of Gloria de Paula, and the other to Melsik Baghdasaryan for his stoppage of Collin Anglin. For Buys especially this must mean a lot as she noted how broke she was in her post-fight speech, and broke down in the video that the UFC posted, which can be seen below.

I really didn’t think this fight would be as one-sided as it’s been going. Strickland has landed and has positioned himself for a huge fight after this big win. #UFCVegas33

I didn’t know who Strickland was before but man I sure do now. Ground and pounding his opponent while telling him to get up because he wants to keep fighting.

The man said if it wasn’t for the ufc and I quote he’d “be cookin meth in prison”

Uriah still makes the same mistakes from years ago that causes him to loss & never able to make an adjustment. It’s so simple too. Strickland has a nasty side jab, walks forward and throws ! Good fight overall. Well good fight for Strickland #UFCVegas33

Uriah Hall just doesn’t seem awake tonight. Strickland’s pressure is a serious problem. #ufcvegasthirtysomething

Strongly disagree with @bisping about Sean’s wrestling ability. He’s actually a really good wrestler, just never uses it---- #UFCVegas33

Sean doesn’t even care about the sub he just wants to big brother Uriah! #UFCVegas33

I’ve seen Sean spar so many times and he is fighting just like he spars. In your face, doesn’t give you an inch and gritty! #UFCVegas33
