UFC on Versus 1: "Vera vs. Jones" is officially in the books and it turned out to be an exciting night of fights for the promotion's first-ever live event on the Versus network. Here are some interesting tidbits that came out of the post-fight press conference for the event:

-UFC on Versus 1 drew a sell-out crowd of 6,443 to the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado for a $568,125 gate, according to UFC President Dana White.

The same building, which was previously known as the Broomfield Events Center, was host to UFC Fight Night 17 in April 2008. That event brought in 6,742 spectators for a $753,429 gate.

-The UFC dished out $200,000 in bonus money to four of the 22 fighters who competed in last night's UFC on Versus 1 event. Headliner Jon Jones and co-headliner Junior dos Santos as well as preliminary card fighters Clay Guida and John Howard were awarded the money. They each earned $50,000 "Fight Night" bonuses for their outstanding performances at the event.

For the first time in the promotions history, the UFC handed out three "Knockout of the Night" awards as Jon Jones, John Howard, and Junior dos Santos took home the honors for their finishes.

Jones scored a first round TKO win over Brandon Vera in the night's main event and Dos Santos notched a first round knockout win over Gabriel Gonzaga in the night's co-main event. Howard also scored a first round knockout win, as he defeated newcomer Daniel Roberts in a preliminary card bout that ended up being televised on the Versus broadcast.

Also, Clay Guida earned "Submission of the Night" honors for his second-round arm-triangle choke win over Shannon Gugerty on the preliminary portion of the card. No "Fight of the Night" bonus was given out.

-UFC President Dana White revealed that UFC on Versus 2 will take place on August 1 in Oakland, California. It will be the UFC's first ever event in Oakland.

-Also of note, Brandon Vera reportedly suffered three broken facial bones from the vicious elbow recieved courtesy of Jones, and Duane Ludwig reportedly suffered a severely broken ankle during his loss to Darren Elkins on the preliminary portion of the card.
