The athlete, however, took no notice of his opponent and dominated the 'Bogeyman' for almost five rounds, until achieving a knockout in the final stage. The North American's confident performance caught the eyes of the company's management, which resulted in the award after the event.
Even defeated, Ferguson will not leave Jacksonville with an empty pocket. Just like this weekend's rival, the athlete will receive the US$50 (approximately R$286,5) resulting from the 'Fight of the Night' bonus.
Another athlete celebrating yet another performance bonus is Francis Ngannou. The athlete, who returned to the octagon almost a year after his victory over junior gypsy, once again impressed with his physical strength by delivering a brutal knockout over the, until then, undefeated Jairzinho Rozenstruik. The fighters fought a confrontation that generated a lot of expectations, as they were two fighters known for their physical strength and ability to 'erase' their opponents. The French-Cameroonian also leaves Florida with US$50.
