UFC on ESPN+ 41, also known as UFC Vegas 14, UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. dos Anjos, and UFC Fight Night 183, was held on Saturday, November 14, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In addition to being paid a fixed amount to show and another, usually equal amount to win, each UFC event also awards four $50,000 Performance Bonuses. Usually, there is a Fight of the Night in which both fighters are given a performance bonus, and a performance bonus to the winner in two fights. For the record, “Performance Bonus” is the fight made you go “HOLY F@$%ING $#!@.” The winners are shown below, in bold.

$50,000 Fight of the Night Bonus
Rafael dos Anjos defeated Paul Felder by Split Decision (47-48, 50-45, 50-45)

$50,000 Performance Bonus 
Sean Strickland defeated Brendan Allen by TKO (Punches, Round 2, 1:32)

$50,000 Performance Bonus
Khaos Williams defeated Abdul Razak Alhassan by KO (Punch, Round 1, 0:30)

One of the primary differences between the UFC model and the boxing model is the depth of the card. Sometimes in MMA the greatest fight isn’t the main event, or close to it. However, at UFC on ESPN+ 41, in a highly unusual moment, all four bonuses went to the main card, and the main event was Fight of the Night.

In addition, to the bonuses and purses, fighters earn:
•Reebok pay, based on tenure, for wearing the distinctive apparel during fight week and in the Octagon;
•Less commonly than in the past fighters get discretionary locker room bonuses of varying amounts, which, despite their name, actually come in the mail now;
•In some cases there is an LOA [Letter of Agreement] on the contract for additional income; and,
•The most elite fighters get points on the pay per view for PPV events, which this one was not.

The next league event is UFC 255: Figueiredo vs. Perez on Saturday, November 21, 2020, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
