UFC Road To The Octagon Video, UFC Fight Night Krakow Bonuses, Big Middleweight Fight Changed
- UFC has released it's full episode of UFC Road to the Octagon, which aired on Fox this weekend. The show promotes next Saturday's big UFC on Fox show, which features the likes of Luke Rockhold, Lyoto Machida, Paige VanZant, Jacare Souza, Felice Herrig, and several other ranked talents. You can see the video above.
- Speaking of next weekend's UFC on Fox 15 card, middleweight Yoel Romero has been pulled from his planned bout against Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza, and replaced by Chris Camozzi. Romero sustained a ligament and meniscus tear during training.
The Romero-Souza fight was quite possible a number one contender's bout, based on how fellow Middleweight Luke Rockhold performs on the same show.
- Mirko Crocop, Gabriel Gonzaga, Maryna Moroz and Leon Edwards all left this weekend's UFC Fight Night Krakow show $50,000 after receiving performance bonuses. Moroz won for her monumental upset submission win over #6-ranked Joanne Calderwood, and Leon Edwards took home a bonus for his vicious 8 second knockout.
This was the first time in almost two months that a fight of the night bonus was handed out, as the company instead had opted to hand out four performance (formerly KO/submission of the night) bonuses. Mirko Cro Cop's comeback victory over Gabriel Gonzaga earned those honors.
