UFC 97 $70,000 Bonuses:
Fight of the Night – Sam Stout vs. Matt Wiman
Knockout of the Night – Mauricio “Shogun” Rua
Submission of the Night – Krzysztof Soszynski
Early rumors backstage had Shogun vs. Liddell being named Fight of the Night. It was an interesting fight while it lasted, but I do think the choice of Wiman vs. Stout is a better one as far as awarding an overall fight bonus goes.
