The fighter’s listed below received an additional $30,000 each for their performances at UFC Fight Night 18: “Condit vs. Kampmann”.

Fight of the Night : Tyson Griffin vs. Rafael Dos Anjos
Submission of the Night : Rob Kimmons
Knockout of the Night : Aaron Simpson

I thought that Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann should have won the “Fight of the Night”. Their fight had more back & forth action and great transitions compared to Tyson Griffin vs. Rafael Dos Anjos fight. Plus, all 3 judges scored the “Griffin vs. Dos Anjos” in favor of Griffin (30-27) compared to the climatic split decision ending of “Condit vs. Kampmann”.
