— After UFC 87: Seek and Destroy, $60,000 bonuses were awarded for knockout of the night, submission of the night and fight of the night. Robert Emerson needed only 12 seconds to dispose of Manvel Gamburyan in devastating fashion to pick up the $60,000 bonus for knockout of the night. Demian Maia used a rear naked choke to tap out Jason MacDonald in round 2 of their fight to get submission of the night. The 5-round main event of Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch won fight of the night, with each fighter getting a $60,000 bonus. Although Fitch showed a lot heart during the fight, GSP dominate all 5 rounds to retain the UFC Welterweight championship.
— Brock Lesnar is receiving a lot of praise for his first UFC win over Heath Herring at Saturday night’s UFC 87 Pay-Per-View. At the post-show UFC 87 press conference, UFC President Dana White told the media, “I’m telling you I’m blown away by his [Lesnar’s] performance tonight. One of our guys said it looks like he’s hitting people with lunch boxes. The guy’s a phenomenon. I didn’t think he could come in here with no fights and compete at this level. He proved me wrong. He’s a monster. I don’t know what guys are going to want to fight him.”
— Also at the UFC 87 post-show press conference, Dana White all-but-confirmed that a Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn rematch is in the works and will likely take place at UFC’s final show of the year on December 27th.
