George Sotiropoulos, Joe Stevenson, Cain Velasquez and Chris Lytle each earned $50,000 fight-night bonuses at Saturday's "UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez" event.

Sotiropoulos and Stevenson took home "Fight of the Night" honors, Velasquez earned the "Knockout of the Night" award, and Lytle picked up the "Submission of the Night" bonus at the Feb. 20 pay-per-view event.

UFC 110 took place at Acer Arena in Sydney and marked the UFC's first-ever trip to Australia.

Sotiropoulos and Stevenson met in a lightweight main-card bout. Despite being a 2-to-1 underdog, Sotiropoulos outclassed his fellow "TUF" alumnus in all areas of the fight and earned unanimous decision via shutout 30-27 scores.

The fight kept the crowd enthralled thanks largely to Sotiropoulos, an Australian who moved to 5-0 in the UFC (and 6-0 in his past six fights) with the win. The rising contender earned his first UFC fight-night bonus; Stevenson, meanwhile, earned his third "Fight of the Night" award in his past five fights.
