New UFC Champ Involved In Scuffle At Presser, UFC 187 Bonuses, Last 2015 UFC Hall Of Fame Inductee

- Following his UFC Light Heavyweight Title win at last night's UFC 187, new champion Daniel Cormier had a war words at the post-fight press conference with original opponent Ryan Bader. The two were set to fight next month in New Orleans.

"There's Ryan Bader's ass," Cormier said. "And I'm going to beat the sh-t out of him next time. You keep talking Bader. Keep talking Bader. This guy's so disrespectful, I'm trying to fight Anthony Johnson, and Ryan Bader is sending me stupid messages on Twitter, because he wants people to think he deserves a title shot. They said, 'Daniel, what do you want?' I want the easiest fight in the division, Ryan Bader."

- Cormier and UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman took home an extra $50,000 for last night, as the two earned "Performance of the Night" bonuses from the UFC. In a surprise to no one who watched, Andrei Arlovski and Travis Browne also earned $50,000 for "Fight of the Night" honors.

- UFC also announced last night that they'll be inducting BJ Penn into their Hall of Fame at International Fight Week this July. Penn spent well over a decade in the UFC on his way to becoming both a UFC Lightweight and Welterweight Champion.

"It is our honor to induct BJ Penn into the UFC Hall of Fame. He was one of those stars who helped build the UFC. When we bought this company, we were told no-one cared about lightweights. BJ Penn not only made people care, he was one of the biggest draws in UFC history. And what he accomplished inside the Octagon speaks for itself – he is one of only two people to win two UFC titles in two different divisions and he beat a who's who of his era. He is a legend and a no-brainer for the UFC Hall of Fame," said UFC President Dana White.
