For the second straight event, the UFC handed out extra bonuses for "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" Finale on FX on Friday night. Four fighters were handed $40,000 bonuses on the card, with Justin Lawrence taking an extra one.
Lawrence's third round head kick knockout of John Cofer won him one of the "Knockout of the Night" honors, but he and Cofer also took home the "Fight of the Night" award as well.
Also taking home the "Knockout of the Night" was main event winner Martin Kampmann, who became the first person to ever stop Jake Ellenberger by strikes with his second round knockout win.
Adding to his excellent night, Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Chiesa took the "Submission of the Night" over Charles Oliveira by choking out Al Iaquinta to win his season of the reality show.
