Stephens' bonus came in the main fight. The veteran, who is now the second fighter with the most appearances in the Octagon of all time (28), delivered a violent knockout to Josh Emmett at the beginning of the second round. With three consecutive victories, Jeremy takes an important step towards putting himself in contention for the featherweight challenger spot.
Ilir Latifi got the other 50 thousand dollars for his performance against Ovince St Preux. The Swede amended a knockdown with a guillotine, which left OSP unconscious on the ground at the 3:48 mark of the opening stage.
Finally, Jouban and Saunders fought a fight full of alternatives, with each one close to being knocked out on different occasions. Saunders tried to put pressure on with an offensive movement, but Jouban's precision was greater. Gradually, Alan dismantled his opponent until he reached the knockout at 2:38 of the second round. Each took home 50 thousand dollars, in addition to their respective scholarships.
