Swanson, Lobov, Moreno, Perry pick up UFC Nashville bonuses

Artem Lobov made the most of his first UFC main event.

"The Russian Hammer" fell short of upsetting top-5 featherweight Cub Swanson, but both received a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus for their five-round battle at UFC Fight Night 108 on Saturday in Nashville, Tenn.

Brandon Moreno and Mike Perry were also rewarded for a pair of thrilling finishes. Officials confirmed the winners after the show.

While this is Lobov's first Fight Night bonus, Swanson picked up his 10th and now holds the featherweight record for most bonuses in World Extreme Cagefighting/UFC history.

Moreno snagged his second performance bonus with an upset of Dustin Ortiz that he won with a rear-naked choke submission, and Perry earned his first by scoring arguably the best knockout of 2017 so far when he landed a standing elbow strike that crushed veteran Jake Ellenberger.
