UFC Fighter Cheyanne Buys Breaks Down After Getting Word That She Won The $50K Bonus

UFC’s Cheyanne Buys was brought to tears after being told that she won the $50,000 performance of the night bonus for her first minute KO/TKO of Gloria De Paula at UFC Fight Night on Saturday.

Buys won via head-kick and punches in a bounce back victory after losing to Montserrat Ruiz back in March of this year.

Here was her reaction to being told that she won the bonus:

Here is how the fight went down:

In her post-fight press conference she went on to state that she had been living in the negative in her account so this is a massive moment for her overall life.

She went on to state that her $10K show and $10K win cheques were gone to loans to help her and her husband move to further their careers, so the bonus was massive for her life.

As viewers many of us tend to forget how much these bonuses mean to the athletes, especially the ones who are truly living fight to fight.
