Fabricio Werdum was, without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest winner of the night at UFC 188. In addition to the definitive heavyweight belt, the submission over Cain Velazquez in the main fight of the event, he guaranteed the Brazilian a check for US$ 50 thousand (R$ 156 thousand, at the current exchange rate), corresponding to the “Performance of the night” bonus.

The other fighter awarded a check for US$50 for his performance in the octagon on Saturday night (13) was American Patrick Williams. Still on the preliminary card, Patrick silenced the Mexican public by defeating the TUF Latin America champion and favorite of the local fans Alejandro Perez, with a lightning finish, in less than 30 seconds.
In addition to Werdum and Williams, two other fighters were also awarded a check for US$50, but thanks to their performance in what was considered the “Fight of the Night”. Are they: Yair Rodriguez e Charles Rosa, who faced each other on the main card of the night.
Additionally, at the press conference following the event, Ultimate president Dana White announced that all tickets offered for sale at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico had been sold and that attendance for the event was 21.036 spectators.
