UFC 248 Bonuses! O’Malley Banks $50K For ‘Prelims’ TKO

Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports

The action delivered in waves last night (Sat., Mar. 7, 2020) at UFC 248 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as undefeated UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya successfully defended his title against Yoel Romero in a rather lackluster main event (highlights HERE).

In addition to that madness, lightweight veteran Beneil Dariush won his fourth-straight fight with a fabulous one-punch knockout over Drakkar Klose, rising bantamweight prospect Sean O’Malley made good on his Octagon return with a flashy TKO finish, and Gerald Meerschaert pulled off a come-from-behind submission win over middleweight Deron Winn.

In order to sift through the action and see which fighters took home an extra $50,000, we take a closer look at the official UFC 248 bonus winners below:
