MELBOURNE, Australia – Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey and Kyle Noke and each earned $50,000 bonuses for their performances at Saturday’s UFC 193 event – and Holm doubled up for $100,000.

Holm and Rousey earned the “Fight of the Night,” while Holm and Noke each won “Performance of the Night” honors.

UFC President Dana White announced the winners at the night’s post-event news conference, which MMAjunkie attended.

Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) pulled off arguably the biggest upset in MMA history by knocking out Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) 59 seconds into the second round. Rousey never was really in the fight, and Holm led the way from the outset before starting the finish with a kick to the head.

Noke (22-7-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) landed a massive front kick on Peter Sobotta (15-5-1 MMA, 2-4 UFC) that dropped the German and had him yelling out in agony. Noke, from Australia, then followed it up with punches to get the finish.

UFC 193 took place at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
