Per Haljestam / USA TODAY Sports

UFC on FOX 26's post-fight bonuses belong to the undercard.

Welterweight Nordine Taleb and middleweight Alessio Di Chirico took Performance of the Night honors - good for $50,000 each - for their knockouts of Danny Roberts and Oluwale Bamgbose, respectively, on Saturday's prelims in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Taleb rocked Roberts with a head kick before finishing the job with a right hand in just 59 seconds, while Di Chirico face-planted Bamgbose with a knee in the second round of their otherwise tepid tilt.

Middleweights Julian Marquez and Darren Stewart also pocketed $50,000 each for their Fight of the Night, a back-and-forth scrap Marquez won by second-round submission.
