Chris “Lights Out” Lytle was confident that his UFC 116 straight armbar/triangle choke submission win over Matt Brown would take home the $75,000 Submission of the Night award. The honors instead went to Brock Lesnar for his arm triangle choke victory over Shane Carwin in the main event. Lesnar retained his UFC heavyweight title with the first submission of his career other than a tapout due to strikes in his first fight.
Lytle is used to receiving bonus checks. He has cashed seven of them in his last 10 fights. The 35-year-old has won Submission of the Night twice before, Fight of the Night honors on four occasions, and has been awarded Knockout of the Night once.
Following the event on July 3, UFC president Dana White said, “We’re writing some (expletive) checks tonight. We’re writing checks, more than what you heard here tonight. Guys are going to get well taken care of.”
White wasn’t just saying it to say it. While Lytle didn’t get the Submission of the Night award he wanted, he did receive a bonus check from the Las Vegas-based promotion.
Ken Pavia, Lytle’s manager, informed MMAWeekly.com that his fighter did receive a little extra compensation for his UFC 116 performance.
“The bonus of the night was $75,000. It wasn’t near that, but it was still significant. It was more than a mere token, so we‘re very happy about that.” Pavia told MMAWeekly Radio. “They took care of him. They gave him a nice chunk.
“They’ve been good to Chris, and Chris has made a lot of money. I would venture to say one of the top ten in the UFC by virtue of his bonuses,” added Pavia. “He was not unhappy.”
Lytle will be back in the Octagon on Sept. 25 in his hometown of Indianapolis at UFC 119, looking for another bonus award in a rematch with former UFC welterweight titleholder Matt Serra. The two fought to a split decision at “The Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale” with Serra getting the judges’ nod in a fight many felt Lytle won.Source: http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/tem ... &zoneid=13
