MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Youssef Zalal’s return to the UFC has been quite lucrative.

Zalal earned an impressive second-round submission win over Jack Shore after landing a picture-perfect knee at UFC Edmonton to improve to 3-0 in his second stint with the promotion. The incredible finish earned Zalal a Performance of the Night bonus for Saturday’s event — which makes it back-to-back bonus winning submission victories.

The UFC awarded four Performance of the Night bonuses for their latest Fight Night event, with no Fight of the Night honors on the list.

Dustin Stoltzfus took home an extra check for his brutal first-round knockout upset win against Marc-Andre Barriault in a main card middleweight contest. Canada’s own Jasmine Jasudavicius and Charles Jourdain also walked away with bonuses following their submission victories on the card.

Jasudavicius tapped Ariane da Silva in the third round to pick up her third straight win, and second career UFC post-fight bonus. Jourdain submitted Victor Henry in the second round to cap off a successful debut in the bantamweight division.

All four fighters earned an extra $ 50,000.

MMA: Mixed Martial Arts

Brandon Moreno has plenty left to offer in the division that he’s twice held a title in.

“The Assassin Baby” put on a classy five-round performance in the main event of UFC Edmonton on Saturday, thoroughly out-striking top contender Amir Albazi en route to a unanimous decision win. The victory snapped a two-fight skid for Moreno, who came out on the wrong end of a pair of razor-thin split decisions against Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval.

Though Albazi hung tough with Moreno for the duration of the contest, he could never break the two-time flyweight champion’s rhythm. Moreno buzzed in and out with accurate strikes, bloodying Albazi’s face and handing him a loss in his first fight in over 500 days.

Fighters watching Saturday’s headliner marveled at Moreno’s performance, while also mentioning that the canvas was oddly slippery.
