UFC Doles Out 25k Bonuses for "Silva vs. Irvin"

The UFC's always fluctuating end-of-night bonuses totaled $25,000 apiece for Saturday's "Silva vs. Irvin" event. The four lucky men who left the Palms one-fortieth of a million dollars richer are...
Knockout of the Night: Rory Markham for his skull-crushing head-kick KO of Brodie Farber.
Submission of the Night: CB Dollaway for his "Peruvian Necktie" choke of fellow TUF 7 castmember Jesse Taylor.
Fight of the Night: Frankie Edgar and Hermes Franca for their three-round tussle that Edgar took unanimously thanks to his takedowns and GnP.
The must-see Markham/Farber knockout is below, and the Dollaway/Taylor scrap is after the jump — and we threw in Cain Velasquez's beatdown of Jake O'Brien for good measure. (If you find a working link for Edgar/Franca, please post it in the comments section.) Serious props to MMA TKO.

Anybody else think the Ref should've stopped O'Brien's suffering a bit sooner?
Jeff Says:
Cain looked REALLY good, awesome position control... His torso is huge. Not saying "look out Fedor" or anything but he's got a good chance at the UFC's heavyweight belt for sure.
This guy + Lesnar + Tuf 8 is gonna make the UFC's heavyweight division interesting again. If only they would sign Fedor.

For some reason Cain wasn't throwing any elbows from that position. Maybe he was just being nice and didn't want to cut up O'Brien's face. I think a handful of elbows would have stopped the bout as opposed to the 30+ punches he threw. I think it was perfect timing for the stoppage. It ended right when I got that gross feeling of seeing someone getting inihilated.

O'brien is a bitch

$25,000 is not one quarter of a million dollars, it's actually 2.5% of a million dollars. It is, however, one quarter of $100,000. Little bit of math-douchery for you.

It's called copyright u douche-nipples. I would avoid fines and other shit at the risk of disappointing a couple missing links.
