Brendan Schaub was awarded a $70,000 bonus for Knockout of the Night.
Schaub pressed the pace, which has always been Cro Cop's problem with bigger fighters that can actually strike. Schaub got ice take downs and was active from the top, even though most of his shots missed. Cro Cop showed good defense in the guard and a nice sweep to get up. Even though Cro Cop was slower than his prime he was tough and brought the fight until he got clipped behind the ear in the third.
