Choi, Steele, Ham, Casey earn bonuses at UFC Fight Night 79

Doo Ho Choi, Dominique Steele, Seo Hee Ham, and Cortney Casey will leave South Korea with fatter wallets.

Choi earned a $50,000 "Performance of the Night" bonus for his absolute demolition of Sam Sicilia to open the UFC Fight Night 79 main card. "The Korean Superboy" sent Sicilia crashing to the canvas with a slick right-left combination and finished the fight with a barrage of coffin nails.

Also earning $50,000 for his trouble was Steele, who ended "Maestro" Dong Hyun Kim's night with a massive knockout slam and a few unnecessary elbows.

Ham and Casey collected "Fight of the Night" bonuses for their three-round war on the prelim card. Ham ultimately outpointed Casey over 15 minutes to pick up the unanimous-decision victory.
