Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos took home Fight of the Night honors at UFC Vegas 121, with each fighter collecting a $100,000 bonus. The victory marked the sixth consecutive win for Rosas Jr., who continues his push to become the youngest champion in UFC history.
The bout reached a sudden and frightening conclusion midway through the fifth and final round. After finding a second wind and defending against takedown attempts, Rosas Jr. executed an inside trip.
Barcelos hit the canvas and appeared to land on his head, resulting in an immediate knockout. Barcelos was promptly removed from the Octagon to receive medical attention. Paramount Brazil's Vevy Rodrigues later reported that Barcelos was alert and being evaluated at a local hospital.
Two other fighters earned $100,000 post-fight awards, as Luis Hernandez and Yazmin Jauregui each captured Performance of the Night bonuses for first-round finishes. Hernandez submitted Sedriques Dumas with an opening-round guillotine choke, while Jauregui dismantled former LFA champion Vanessa Demopoulos in the first frame.
