UFC Vegas 108 showcased not just one, but a pair of contests that could vie for Fight of the Year consideration, and the quartet of competitors involved were all significantly compensated.
Chris Duncan, Mateusz Rebecki, Esteban Ribovics, and Elves Brener are departing the UFC APEX venue with an additional $50,000 added to their earnings following the distribution of two Fight of the Night accolades on Saturday. Typically, the UFC bestows bonuses for a duo of concluding sequences and the most captivating fight of the event, but in this instance, there were two lightweight confrontations deserving of supplementary acknowledgment.
Duncan and Rebecki engaged in a fierce battle during the co-main event, exchanging blows in a heated exchange that left both fighters visibly marked and worn. As the 15-minute duration concluded, Duncan emerged victorious through a unanimous judgment.
Similarly securing a well-deserved victory through decision was Ribovics, an Argentinian talent rapidly establishing a reputation for his electrifying displays. Ribovics overcame Brener, elevating his UFC record to 4-2 and securing his third successive Fight of the Night bonus. His preceding two occurred against Nasrat Haqparast and Daniel Zellhuber, with the latter encounter arguably delivering the most outstanding fight of the current year.
