UFC Vegas 70 Bonus Report: Tatiana Suarez one of six ‘POTN’ winners

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 70 event, an eleven-bout fight card headlined by Brendan Allen vs. Andre Muniz.

Tonight’s middleweight main event proved to be a coming out party for Brendan Allen. ‘All In’ was able to get the better of the striking battle with Muniz in rounds one and two and was also able to get the fight to the floor with a timely takedown. Then, in round three, Allen was able to secure another big takedown and promptly went on to secure a rear-naked choke finish.

The co-main event of UFC Vegas 70 featured a heavyweight contest between Augusto Sakai and Don’Tale Mayes. It was definitely not the most fan-friendly bout of the evening, but Sakai did what was needed to get a unanimous decision win.

Following the conclusion of today’s event, UFC officials announced at the post-fight press conference that four fighters would be taking home performance bonuses.
