UFC on ESPN 18 bonuses: Anthony Smith’s sweet sub scores one of four performance bonuses

A night of fantastic finishes led to four “Performance of the Night” bonuses, capped off with Anthony Smith’s main event submission.

Another Saturday, another UFC event, another $200,000 in post-fight bonuses.

UFC on ESPN 18 went down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, a night in which the solid action inside the octagon made up for the lack of top-to-bottom star power going on.

This was one of those nights with more noteworthy individual performances than barnburner bouts. So the UFC awarded four, $50,000 “Performance of the Night” awards: [autotag]Anthony Smith[/autotag], [autotag]Miguel Baeza[/autotag], [autotag]Su Mudaerji[/autotag], and [autotag]Nate Maness[/autotag].

Without further ado, then, a look at UFC on ESPN 18’s bonus winners:
