UFC 275 was a belter of an event. With so many high octane performances on the night, the feeling of excitement is yet to sink in. With so many finishes, and exhilarating performances from both debutants and veterans, this is an event that will stay in the minds of the fans for a long time.
The much anticipated light Heavyweight title match ended with a submission victory for Jiri Prochazka, who became the first ever champion from the Czech Republic. Elsewhere, there was a spectacular knockout victory for Zhang Weili, whose brutal spinning backfist finish sent Joanna Jedrzejczyk to retirement.
It was finishes galore, as plenty of fighters scored finishes, and eventually earning performance of the night bonuses.
Despite knowing the outcomes of the fights, the stacked card has left fans puzzling their heads about the UFC 275 bonuses and how much money each UFC fighter made through purses, payouts, and salaries.
