CURITIBA, Brazil – Stipe Miocic, Ronaldo Souza, Francisco Trinaldo and Yancy Medeiros each earned $50,000 fight-night bonuses at Saturday’s UFC 198 event.

Miocic and Souza earned “Performance of the Night” award, and Trinaldo and Medeiros took home “Fight of the Night” honors.

Senior Vice President and General Manager of UFC Brazil Giovani Decker announced the winners at the post-event press conference, which MMAjunkie attended.

In the main event, Miocic (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) became the new heavyweight champion when he knocked out Fabricio Werdum (20-6-1 MMA, 8-3 UFC) with one punch a little past the midway point of the first round. With Werdum trying to chase him down, Miocic landed a right hand on the chin and the Brazilian was out cold.

In the co-feature, “Jacare” Souza (23-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) had no trouble with fellow Brazilian Vitor Belfort (25-12 MMA, 14-8 UFC). He cut him open in the first round, went to the ground with him, and instead of working for a submission, as he’s known for, he pounded him out.

Trinaldo (20-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) and Medeiros (12-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC) slugged back and forth for 15 minutes on the preliminary card. And while Trinaldo took what looked to be an easy win as far as the scores were concerned – 29-26, 30-27, 30-26 – Medeiros never went away.

UFC 198 took place at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
