At the UFC Qatar tournament, which took place on the night of November 23 in Doha, Myktybek Orolbay uulu once again showcased his outstanding skills, defeating Swedish fighter Jack Hermansson. Despite the spectacular knockout, the fighter did not receive the "Performance of the Night" bonus. The event attracted the attention of viewers from around the world.
Thrilling Performance
From the very first seconds of the fight, the Kyrgyzstani took the initiative, actively pressuring his opponent. In the middle of the first round, he landed a precise strike to the head, knocking Hermansson out. The referee immediately stopped the bout, and commentators noted how powerful and accurate that strike was.
This victory marked Orolbay uulu's fourth win in the UFC and his second consecutive first-round finish.
Lack of Bonus
Despite the impressive knockout, the Kyrgyzstani was not among those who received the $50,000 bonus. The "Performance of the Night" awards went to other fighters: Arman Tsarukyan, Waldo Cortez-Acosta, Kyoji Horiguchi, and Luke Riley.
This is the second time that Orolbay uulu, after achieving a finish, has not received a monetary reward. In his previous fight, the UFC president criticized him for missing weight, which likely continues to influence the organizers' decisions.
Reactions and Future
The victory in Doha solidified Myktybek's position in the UFC. Fans are actively supporting the fighter, and experts believe that at this level of performance, receiving bonuses is just a matter of time.
The Kyrgyz fighter is rapidly gaining popularity, and his upcoming bouts are now anticipated with even greater interest.
