WEC 53 : “Henderson vs Pettis” from the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona is officially in the books, which means that a couple of fighters who busted their asses in the cage are getting rewarded for their efforts. The promotion is cutting checks for $10,000 to each fight bonus recipient — the same as usual for the promotion that closed its doors with a bang. In addition to their base salaries, the WEC awarded lightweight brawlers Anthony Pettis & Ben Henderson “Fight of the Night” for their thrilling back-&-forth war of attrition that “Showtime” took via unanimous decision to win the 155-pound title. You didn’t think that Neo-like head kick was going to go unrewarded, did you? Eddie Wineland earned himself “Knockout of the Night” by channeling his inner “Rampage” & slamming Ken Stone so hard he was reportedly out for five to 10 minutes before being carried out on a stretcher. Finally, Shane Roller took home his “Submission of the Night” bonus by quieting resident lightweight loudmouth Jamie Varner with a rear naked choke in the very first round. Here are the special fight bonuses for WEC 53: Fight of the Night — Anthony Pettis vs Ben Henderson Knockout of the Night — Eddie Wineland? Submission of the Night — Shane Roller Again, each fighter received $10,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as they’re made available.
