The Brazilian Strawweight duo Amanda Lemos and Virna Jandiroba for the main event UFC Vegas 94 competed in a rather interesting matchup. While the former came into the fight with a win over Mackenzie Dern, the latter had a 3-fight winning streak before stepping inside the Octagon inside the Apex for the recent Fight Night event. But how much did they get paid for the fight?

In her previous outing, Amanda Lemos banked a total of $210,000 at UFC 298. That amount included $80,000 each for showing up and winning the fight, including a bonus of $50,000. Lemos is expected to earn a similar payout. As for Virna Jandiroba, who has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million, has a base pay of $30,000, and just like her rival, she’s expected to have earned a similar amount. Let’s check that out.

Virna Jandiroba and three others take home bonuses

Virna Jandiroba looked deadly and on point with her moves from the beginning of the main event against Amanda Lemos. She had more significant strikes landed, and even had the only takedown of the fight to her name. That dominance was sure to wait heavily on Lemos, who could not find a way to tackle her Brazilian counterpart and succumbed to getting finished.

Virna Jandiroba’s submission win over Amanda Lemos at UFC Vegas 94 guaranteed her a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus of $50,000, which is more than her estimated base pay. The other bonus winners include Bruno Silva, Hyder Amil, and Steve Garcia, all of whom scored impressive finishes, helping them secure a bonus of $50,000 each

However, These four aren’t the only ones who secured finishes because UFC Vegas 94 had a total of six finishes to the event’s name. Let’s take a look at that front, shall we?

UFC Vegas 94 witnesses 6 finishes

The card for UFC’s recent last night didn’t create much excitement among fans, and not many people expected too much from it. But they were wrong because the card was finish-heavy, and apart from the ‘Performance of the Night’ winners, we also had two more fighters, who registered impressive finishes, starting with TUF 31 finalist, Cody Gibson.

The 36-year-old took on Brian Kelleher, but the fight did not go past the first round as Cody Gibson tapped out his opponent with an arm-triangle choke. Moving over from that fight, we had Korean featherweight contender Choi Doo-Ho. He registered his first UFC win since 2016, and he did it with an impressive knockout on Bill Algeo. While these two fighters did not secure a bonus, they did put on a great showing.

Regardless, what was your favorite finish? Drop your comments below.
