UFC on FX 3 Bonuses: Silva, Pyle, Wineland, and Jorgensen earn extra $40,000

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

Four fighters earned $40,000 bonuses for their efforts on Friday night's UFC on FX 3 card, which took place from the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.

Taking home the night's "Fight of the Night" was the exciting bout between Eddie Wineland and Scott Jorgensen. The two bantamweights put forth a fantastic back and forth fight that ended when Wineland scored a huge knockout near the end of the second round.

That wasn't enough to take "Knockout of the Night," which went to Mike Pyle. That finish came with only four seconds left in the first round of Pyle's bout with Josh Neer, and came as he was close to losing the frame. Neer pressed forward in the midst of a flurry and got caught with a vicious one-two combination that sent him crashing face-first to the mat.

"Submission of the Night" went to Erick Silva, who stopped Charlie Brenneman in the first round. After handling Brenneman's wrestling game for much of the round, Silva hurt him with a couple of body kicks, then sprawled on another takedown attempt. He quickly got Brenneman's back, locked on a rear naked choke, and forced the tap.
