UFC on ESPN 33 bonuses: Matt Brown, Bryan Barberena rewarded for all-out brawl

The UFC took the show on the road to Columbus, Ohio on Saturday for the first non-pay-per-view event since the global pandemic.

The promotion brought 12 fights to UFC on ESPN 33, headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Curtis Blaydes and Chris Daukaus. The main event produced a spectacular finish, but it was far from the only fight that met expectations.

Hometown welterweight Matt Brown met Bryan Barberena on the main card in what promised to be an intense battle. Somehow, the fight exceeded the expectations as the two engaged in an intense 15-minute brawl that left everyone in the arena standing and cheering. Although the split decision result didn’t go the way of Brown, he and Barberena both take home $50,000 for Fight of the Night, as a part of four total bonuses handed out by the promotion.

Check out who else took home a bonus for their performances below.
