Performance Of The Night Bonuses:
Performance Of The Night: Carlos Prates
Carlos Prates finished a former welterweight champion for the second straight fight and made it look easy. Facing hometown favorite Jack Della Maddalena was no problem for 'The Nightmare', who clicked on all cylinders throughout the fight.
After the Perth native landed a takedown at the end of the first round, the Brazilian picked up the pace in the second, landing knees, kicks and elbows that severely hurt Della Maddalena. The pressure continued in the third as Prates kept landing leg kicks that sent the Australian to the canvas and forced the stoppage. The win — Prates' third straight — left the Fighting Card calling for his shot at the title in the near future.

Perth's Quillan Salkilld passed his first test in the rankings with flying colors, finishing No. 12-ranked contender Beneil Dariush in the first round. The Australian weathered an early storm after being knocked down by Dariush and rebounded, landing punches that dropped Dariush and put him in danger.

Fight Of The Night: Brando Pericic vs Shamil Gaziev
Right before the fight, UFC reporter McKenzie Pavacich said it would be a clash of heavyweight hitters, and that's exactly what it was.
Brando Pericic secured the biggest win of his career and will enter the rankings next week after stopping Shamil Gaziev in the second round. Both fighters landed punches, with the City Kickboxing fighter throwing more volume and leaving many to wonder how Gaziev was still standing. Midway through the second, the heavyweights were separated from the fence and Pericic kept throwing strikes, eventually landing a right hand that ended the fight.
