Junior Albini's little girl is going to be one happy camper.

The debuting heavyweight picked up a $50,000 bonus for his first-round TKO of Timothy Johnson on the Fight Pass portion of Saturday's UFC on FOX 25 event in Long Island. In a backstage interview following his match, Albini talked about how he couldn't afford buying toys for his 2-year-old daughter before signing with the UFC.

Also announced as bonus winners were Lyman Good, Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, and Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira.

Good and Zaleski dos Santos were rewarded the Fight of the Night award for a spirited three-round effort that ended in a narrow split-decision win for the Brazilian. It's the second time Zaleski dos Santos participated in a Fight of the Night winner.

Oliveira picked up his second career performance bonus with a comeback KO of Ryan LaFlare, making him the first fighter to finish the durable New Yorker.
