Ahead Of UFC 300, Take A Look At The FIGHT PASS Prelim Fighters Who Blew The Roof Off The Arenas.

Chris Beal – UFC 172

Hours before Jon Jones 50-45ed his way to yet another title defense, Chris Beal landed a flying knee KO in his UFC debut. Beal would only go on to win one more fight under the UFC banner but FIGHT PASS subscribers saw his full potential in his PPV opening bout against Patrick Williams.

After going 1-2 in his first three UFC bouts, something clicked for one of the UFC’s most entertaining stars. Pereira has strung together seven consecutive wins, with his quickest and most impressive coming in the UFC 299 FIGHT PASS Prelims when he choked out Michal Oleksiejczuk in just a tick over a minute, rewarding Miami’s early arrivers.

Joe Lauzon – UFC 200

Before UFC 300, UFC 200 gave every PPV in history quite the run for its money in terms of star power. With a who’s who of fighters on the card, Joe Lauzon did what he does best and pulled in a Performance of the Night bonus in his bout with Diego Sanchez, his 15th bonus in the UFC.

Miles Johns UFC 265

Fresh off his first performance bonus in the UFC, LFA veteran Miles Johns would cash another $50,000 check when he allowed Anderson dos Santos to hang around for a couple rounds before knocking him out just a minute into the third. It was the last bonus he’s had, but he made the bantamweights come correct when they see his name come across their radar and it just might be thanks to his fight with dos Santos.

Headlining the FIGHT PASS Early Prelims, Jailton Almeida gave the hometown crowd something to cheer for when he dominated an always-dangerous Shamil Abdurakhimov in under two rounds. Almeida pushed his winning streak to 13 and nabbed his first of two consecutive performance bonuses in the process.

Chris Barnett – UFC 268

Before Din Thomas could finish criticizing the offensive attack of one of the UFC’s most lovable big men, Barnett landed a wheel kick KO that sent Gian Villante into retirement and landed a front flip celebration that still lives in social media lore to this day. Barnett has only fought twice since but made himself must-see TV in the early portion of UFC 268.

Tim Elliott – UFC 219

Representing one half of the only FIGHT PASS Early Prelim on the UFC 219 card, the pressure was on Tim Elliott to carry the weight of an entire prelim card and he did just that when he sunk a second-round anaconda choke over BJJ black belt and previously undefeated Mark de la Rosa, still his only submission loss.

Order UFC 300: Pereira vs Hill

Andre Fialho – UFC 274

On the heels of a very aggressive Cameron VanCamp, Andre Fialho landed one of the most solid left hands of the entire night that crumbled VanCamp and likely had $50,000 spoken for before the late prelims even had a chance to get started.

Yancy Medeiros – UFC 203

Bouncing back from a Fight of the Night loss four months earlier, Yancy Medeiros made his welterweight debut in jaw dropping fashion when he choked out Sean Spencer in front of a Cleveland fanbase.

TJ Brown – UFC 282

On a card featuring some of the most impressive fighters on the roster, the odds were stacked against seemingly everybody on the card to walk away with a performance bonus. Vegas oddsmakers had TJ Brown vs Erik Silva a pick ‘em fight, but at 16-9 taking on a 9-1 featherweight, Brown had to have felt a few more cards stacked against him before putting on an absolute clinic on the ground and eventually landing a bonus-worthy arm-triangle.
