ORLANDO – Donald Cerrone, Alex White, Thiago Alves and Seth Baczynski each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC on FOX 11 event.

Alves and Baczynski earned “Fight of the Night” honors, while Cerrone and White each won “Performance of the Night” bonuses.

UFC President Dana White announced the winners at the night’s post-event news conference, which MMAjunkie attended.

UFC on FOX 11 took place at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. The main card aired on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Cerrone (23-6 MMA, 10-3 UFC) got out to a slow start against Edson Barboza (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) on the main card. But everything changed when he dropped the Brazilian with a left jab. He pounced and sank in a rear-naked choke to get a finish in the first round. The bonus was Cerrone’s ninth in the UFC and 14th overall under the Zuffa umbrella.

White (10-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a short-notice replacement for Mike Brown, drilled Estevan Payan (14-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) a little more than a minute into the fight, and then quickly jumped on him on the ground to finish him off with a barrage of punches. Payan protested the stoppage, but he took at least five unanswered punches to the face from the UFC newcomer.

Alves (20-9 MMA, 12-6 UFC) returned after a two-year layoff and was dominant against Baczynski (19-11 MMA, 5-4 UFC), looking as if he had never been away. The win came in front of the fans in his adopted home state, not far from his South Florida training home at American Top Team.
