Mauricio
"Shogun" Rua,
Alan Belcher,
Jeremy Stephens and
Sam Stout each won post-fight honors at
UFC 113 Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
UFC president Dana White announced the $65,000 bonuses during the post-fight press conference.
Rua's right hand that leveled Lyoto Machida and the punches that followed from mount to claim the light heavyweight belt won the former PRIDE fighter the Knockout of the Night award.
Belcher, who stood toe-to-toe with Patrick Cote in the pay-per-view opener until submitting the former title contender with a rear-naked choke after a faceplant, earned Belcher the Submission of the Night.
Stephens and Stout engaged in a kickboxing match that came away with Fight of the Night. Both strikers were left with bloody noses in the tightly contested three-round battle that saw Stephens walk away from the fight with a split decision.
