UFC 103 fighter bonuses: Belfort & Foster $65K, Story 130K

UFC 103 bonuses and awards for ‘Franklin vs Belfort’ PPV fights

UFC 103: Franklin vs. Belfort from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, has officially wrapped, which means that it’s time for those select fighters who went above and beyond in their respective fights to get a little extra grease for their efforts. To the tune of $65,000 each.

It was a Horror Story for Brian Foster after being taken down in the second stanza where he would find himself tapping out to a slick arm-triangle choke.

So slick, in fact, that it also garnered Story Submission of the Night and an additional $65,000 — giving him a total of $130,000 for about six minutes of work.

Last but not least was the Phenomenal knockout of former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin that earned Vitor Belfort Knockout of the Night in his UFC return.

Here are the special fight bonuses for UFC 103:

Fight of the Night — Rick Story vs. Brian Foster

Knockout of the Night — Vitor Belfort

Submission of the Night — Rick Story
