UFC on ESPN+ 22, also known as UFC Sao Paulo, UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacare, and UFC Fight Night 164 was held on Saturday, November 16 at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In addition to being paid a fixed amount to show and another, usually equal amount to win, each UFC event also awards four $50,000 Performance Bonuses. Usually, there is a Fight of the Night in which both fighters are given a performance bonus, and a performance bonus to the winner in two fights, sometimes, as happened here, no fight of the night is awarded; rather, four performance bonuses were given. “Performance Bonus” means the fight made you say “HOLY F@$%ING $#!@.”

One of the primary differences between the UFC model and the boxing model is the depth of the card. Sometimes the greatest fight isn’t the main event, or close to it. At UFC on ESPN+ 22 three of four bonuses went to the undercard.

$50,000 Performance Bonus:
•Charles Oliveira defeated Jared Gordon by KO (Punches, Round 1, 1:26)

•The most elite fighters get points on the pay per view for PPV events.
