Jared Cannonier was one of four fighters to earn a $50,000 reward for their exploits at The Ultimate Fighter 24 finale on Saturday.

"The Killa Gorilla" shared Fight of the Night spoils with Ion Cutelaba after the pair traded leather through three thrilling rounds, with Cannonier winning his UFC light heavyweight debut by unanimous decision.

The promotion revealed the bonus winners shortly after the event's conclusion.

Former women's bantamweight title challenger Sara McMann and middleweight Anthony Smith each took a Performance of the Night bonus. McMann earned hers with a second-round arm-triangle choke of Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Alexis Davis, while Smith fattened his pockets with a knockout of Elvis Mutapcic, also in the second round.
