Tony Ferguson added to his big night on Saturday at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale, taking home an extra $40,000 from the UFC for his first round knockout of fellow finalist Ramsey Nejim.

Ferguson took home the bonus for "Knockout of the Night" with a great two punch combination that ended with a left hook on the button. Nijem crashed to the ground, Ferguson followed up with strikes and took the title of "The Ultimate Fighter."

Others receiving $40,000 bonuses on the card were Kyle Kingsbury, Fabio Maldonado and Reuben Duran.

Kingsbury and Maldonado took the "Fight of the Night" for their three round brawl on the night's main card. The smaller Maldonado pressured Kingsbury throughout with bruising strikes to the body and combinations to the head, but Kingsbury returned the favor with brutal knees in the clinch, and added some takedowns in the fight as well. Ultimately, Kingsbury was awarded a unanimous decision victory, handing Maldonado his first loss since 2008.

Duran earned the "Submission of the Night" with a third round rear naked choke submission of Francisco Rivera on the night's preliminary card. In what also could have earned "Fight of the Night" honors, Duran and Rivera battled back and forth throughout the entirety of the fight, each locking in submission attempts that looked close to ending the fight before Duran finally finished the bout in the third.
