August 27, 2011, UFC 134 - Silva vs. Okami went down at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event, which was the promotion's first in Brazil in 13 years, did not disappoint as the knockouts were plenty; but when the dust settled and the soccer chants subsided, three men walked away $100 000 richer when the evening's bonuses were determined.Without a submission on the card, naturally, no bonus was awarded for submission of the night, but TUF winner Ross Pearson and Brazilian Muay Thai specialist, Edson Barboza, banked fight of the night honors after a 3 round war that saw the home-country fighter take a split decision on the judge's cards.
Also walking away with a bigger smile (if that was at all possible) was "Minotauro" Nogueira who blitzed Brendan Schaub with a devastating flurry of punches that landed the American face-first on the canvas. After more than 18 months on the shelf, recovering from multiple surgeries, Nogueira picks up knockout of the night thrilling fashion.
