Check out all the news from UFC Vegas 41, including the bonuses, the reactions, and the press conferences after the jump.
UFC Vegas 41
While the main event between Marvin Vettori and Paulo Costa was clearly the fight of the night, it would seem that the UFC punished Costa, by only awarding Vettori a performance bonus, and instead opted to give the fight of the night to Gregory Rodriguez vs. Jun Yong Park. The final bonus was awarded to Alex Caceres for his comeback victory over Seung Woo Choi.

Costas gassed

This isn’t even the same weight class!! Ridiculous! I’m feeling like Costa’s tank might not hold up outside of 1 RD.
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 23, 2021
185, then 195, then 205?! Something isn’t right. #UFCVegas41
Vittori did the road work

Paulo looks so slow and so out of distance
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) October 23, 2021
Maybe it’s just that he just didn’t train as hard for this fight fellas? There’s literally no excuse for asking for a 20lb weight allowance. Costa needs to hope that Vettori makes a mistake and gets clipped by one of his canons. Otherwise this will get ugly #UFCVegas41

Herzog is a great ref. That’s all.

Good point take
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) October 23, 2021
Take that point my guy! Enforce the damn rules or make it a street fight if we gonna just get away with illegal shots. #UFCVegas41

Whatever happens this is a great fight between Costa and Vittori ! #UfcVegas41
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) October 23, 2021
How are we in the 4th RD?! Wild! Fun fight so far despite the outside factors leading into this. Both guys showing high level skills #UFCVegas41

Give this fight of the night but costa can’t get his half until he weighs 185
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) October 23, 2021
Man those body shots !!
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) October 23, 2021
Man after this whole week and now this fight Marvin should gain a million new fans
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) October 23, 2021
What a fight! Not happy with how he ended that 5th RD, but Vettori has nothing to hang his head about. That was a great performance from both men. Makes you wonder what this looks like at 185 lb, like it was intended to be. #UFCVegas41
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 23, 2021
Stellar performance from Marvin . He shows up and fight ! #UFCVegas41
