UFC 181 is in the books, and if you didn’t order the pay-per-view event you definitely missed out.

UFC 181 post-fight bonuses: Four fighters take home extra $50k bonus

Headlining the show was the highly anticipated welterweight title rematch between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler, who fought in March for the vacant title, and went to a very close decision in a very entertaining fight, but ultimately Hendricks won the decision.  Tonight’s rematch was a very close fight like the first, but Robbie Lawler upset Hendricks and won the belt in a split decision.  In the co-main event, UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis defended his belt for the first time, successfully, submitting No. 1 contender Gilbert Melendez in the second round.  Also featured on the main card, Travis Browne rebounded from a devastating loss to now-Interim champ Fabricio Werdum earlier this year with a stoppage victory over Brendan Schaub.

As always, UFC officials give away four post-fight bonuses; two for Performance of the Night, and two for Fight of the Night.

Performance of the Night: Anthony Pettis
Performance of the Night: Josh Samman
Fight of the Night: Sergio Pettis vs. Matt Hobar
