Sean Sherk, Tyson Griffin, Junior dos Santos and Spencer Fisher each picked up $65,000 in “fight night” bonuses for their performances at UFC 90 on Saturday night.

Those figures were up considerably from the $40,000 bonuses that fighters were awarded at UFC 89 here in the UK earlier this month.

Sean Sherk and Tyson Griffin took the evening’s fight of the night. Despite the loss, Griffin picked up his fourth career fight of the night bonus.

Dos Santos didn’t have much competition for knockout of the night, but his future highlight reel TKO stoppage came after a impressive, if short, UFC debut.

Fisher earned his bonus after his win over Shannon Gugerty which came in round three when he locked in a triangle choke.
