Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY

Alan Jouban and Ben Saunders each earned an extra $50,000 for putting their friendship on pause.

The pair of welterweights took Fight of the Night for their striking battle at UFC on FOX 28 in Orlando on Saturday, one Jouban ended with a vicious left hand in the second round to spoil Saunders' homecoming.

Light heavyweight Ilir Latifi and featherweight Jeremy Stephens also pocketed some extra cabbage in Performance of the Night bonuses for their emphatic stoppage victories on the evening's main card. Latifi rocked Ovince Saint Preux with a pair of left hooks before chocking him unconscious with a standing guillotine in under one round, while Stephens scored a second-round KO of Josh Emmett in the controversial main event.
