Erosa Among Four Fighters Earning UFC Vegas 123 Bonuses

Julian Erosa pocketed one of four $100,000 performance bonuses at Saturday's UFC Vegas 123 card at the Apex.

Erosa earned the extra pay for his first-round knockout of Lee Jeong-yeong, per BJPenn.com. The featherweight finish was one of four standout performances rewarded by UFC brass following the lightweight main event between Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan.

Nolan took home a bonus after stopping Moicano in the third round. The lightweight underdog weathered an early grappling assault before rallying on the feet late in round two and finishing the Brazilian early in the third.

Joe Kropschot earned his check for a second-round armbar of Nick Klein, while Lucia Szabová collected $100,000 for a third-round TKO win over Tainara Lisboa.

The co-main event between Randy Brown and Jacobe Smith did not produce a bonus despite Smith's dominant showing over three rounds. The undefeated welterweight prospect bloodied Brown with elbow strikes throughout the 15-minute contest.

The next UFC event at the Apex takes place on November 7 with a welterweight card originally scheduled to feature Gabriel Bonfim against Sean Brady.
