The battle between Robert whittaker e Yoel romero, in the main attraction of UFC 213, received the Ultimate Fight of the Night award. This means that both new interim champion Whittaker and Romero, who lost an even decision to the New Zealander, will receive an extra check for US$50 in addition to their salaries.
In addition to Whittaker and Romero, two other athletes will also receive checks for the same amount for their performances. Rob font and Chad Laprise received Performance of the Night awards for beating Douglas D'Silva and Brian Camozzi, respectively.
The North American submitted the Brazilian in the opening of the main card with a guillotine choke in the second round after dominating D'Silva throughout the duel. Canadian Laprise knocked out Brian, younger brother of middleweight Chris Camozzi, with a punch to the liver.
