UFC Fight Night 213 Bonuses: Gore Among Four ‘Performance of the Night’ Winners

Tresean Gore’s first Ultimate Fighting Championship triumph came with a little extra compensation.

Gore received a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus — one of four given out by the promotion — for his second-round submission victory against Josh Fremd at UFC Fight Night 213 on Saturday. “Mr. Vicious” took advantage of a takedown attempt from his opponent, locking up a tight guillotine choke for a technical submission victory 49 seconds into Round 2 of their middleweight showdown.

Roman Dolidze also earned a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for his knockout of Phil Hawes in a preliminary middleweight matchup. Dolidze injured Hawes’ knee with a leg lock after being taken down early, and he finished the victory with a volley of power punches at the 4:09 mark of Round 1.

Elsewhere, Steve Garcia garnered a performance bonus after administering a lopsided beatdown to Chase Hooper in a preliminary featherweight clash. Garcia floored his foe three times en route to a technical knockout victory at the 1:32 mark of Round 1.

Finally, Christian Rodriguez secured the card’s final “Performance of the Night” award thanks to a submission of Joshua Weems in a bantamweight scrap. Rodriguez reversed a Weems takedown attempt into an anaconda choke to force a tapout at the 4:07 mark of the opening round.
