Cody Garbrandt, Sean O'Malley and Performance Bonus Payouts from UFC 250

Cody Garbrandt and Sean O'Malley led four fighters who earned Performance of the Night bonuses at Saturday's UFC 250 pay-per-view.

Alexander K. Lee of MMA Fighting reported the bonuses, with Aljamain Sterling and Alex Perez also earning Performance of the Night payouts. There was no bonus for Fight of the Night, with most fights on the card being lopsided or featuring early finishes.

Garbrandt and O'Malley had perhaps the two best knockouts on any UFC card this year. Garbrandt cold-cocked Raphael Assuncao right at the buzzer of the second round of their co-main event bout, while O'Malley hit Eddie Wineland with a walk-off blow at the 1:54 mark of their fight.

"Let's do a bantamweight tournament, let's get us in there," Garbrandt said in a post-fight news conference. "Let's go to Fight Island for a few months, go get quarantined out there, bring our coaches … and let's go to war. Let's get this battle, get this tournament and see who the real champion is. Let's go back to the old-school days."

The bantamweight championship is vacant after Henry Cejudo retired after UFC 249. Garbrandt and O'Malley would likely be atop the list of fighters fans want to see compete for the title after their performances Saturday night.

Sterling, another bantamweight challenger, submitted Cory Sandhagen at the 1:28 mark in their main-card bout. Sterling was able to backpack Sandhagen early in the first round and wear him down with a rear-naked choke.

Perez finished Jussier Formiga with a TKO on leg kicks for his third-straight victory and second consecutive Performance of the Night honor.
