WEC 51 Fight Bonuses Awarded

by Brent Brookhouse

$10,000 fight-night bonuses:

- Fight of the Night: Jamie Varner vs. Donald Cerrone
- Submission of the Night: Miguel Torres
- Knockout of the Night: George Roop

No huge surprises here, the George Roop head kick knockout of Chan Sung Jung is on the shortlist for knockout of the year and Miguel Torres looked great in getting the rear naked choke on Charlie Valencia. Jamie Varner and Donald Cerrone put on an exciting, if not one-sided, war that contained the amount of "stand and bang" that it generally takes to be awarded Fight of the Night and honestly it's refreshing to see Leonard Garcia not take home the bonus for another of his sloppy haymaker-fests.
