"Knockout of the Night" - Mac Danzig $100,000

"Fight Of The Night" - GSp and Koscheck each got $100,000

"Submission Of The Night" - Jim Miller $50,000 and Mark Bocek $50,000 (split the money, a tie in voting)

The bonus amounts tied for the most lucrative the UFC ever has paid out. Not since the historic UFC 100 event in 2009 have UFC officials handed out $100,000 awards. The amounts usually rise when an event proves a big draw with significant gate amounts, and in that department, Montreal has delivered. The previous three Montreal events – UFC 113 ($65,000 bonuses), UFC 97 ($70,000) and UFC 83 ($75,000) – all featured lucrative fight-night awards.

For the first time in company history, fans voted online for the "Fight of the Night" winners – much to UFC president Dana White's chagrin.

"They blew it," joked White, who told MMAjunkie.com the fan voting will be a one-time thing.

St-Pierre defended his welterweight title with a lopsided unanimous-decision victory over Koscheck, his rival coach on "The Ultimate Fighter 12," in the headliner. While a dominant performance for St-Pierre, the "Fight of the Night" awards usually are given to fighters in close and competitive bouts. Sean Pierson's preliminary-card win over Matthew Riddle likely should have won the award for the two welterweights, though the fan vote gave the nod to the main-event fighters.


In the post fight press conference Dana said Pierson vs Riddle should have won the Fight Of The Night and they'll be rewarded for it.
