UFC Vegas 122 wrapped up Saturday at Meta Apex in Las Vegas, and the promotion's bonus money went almost entirely to finishers. Both and confirm four fighters walked away with $100,000 Performance of the Night bonuses, while nobody picked up a Fight of the Night check. The card simply did not produce one that stood out above the rest.
It was a finish that came late, after Allen had to grind through four full rounds to find it, and it capped a fun night of fights built on stoppages rather than decisions.
Three other fighters also cashed Performance of the Night bonuses on the same card, continuing the finish heavy theme that both outlets highlighted in their reporting.
For Allen, the win adds to a middleweight resume that already has him ranked fourth in the division. Our Elo model, built off ten tracked bouts for Allen, has him sitting at 1610, a number that reflects just how consistently he has been beating ranked competition inside the UFC. A fifth round submission over Duncan is exactly the kind of durable, finish heavy performance that keeps that number climbing and keeps him squarely in the championship conversation at 185 pounds.
With no Fight of the Night bonus awarded, UFC Vegas 122 will be remembered less for one standout war and more for a card that consistently delivered finishes across the board, with Allen's performance standing as the clear headline moment among the four bonus winners.
