UFC Fight Night 178 featured plenty of fun fights and impressive finishes, which has led to four mixed martial artists becoming $50,000 richer.

The most obvious pick was Khamzat Chimaev, who wiped out Gerald Meerschaert with just one punch. With the 17-second KO, Chimaev improves to 9-0.

Also earning $50,000 is Mackenzie Dern, who put on a grappling clinic against Randa Markos. The Arizona native was able to put Markos in a tight armbar and earned a submission win just 3:44 into the fight. Dern advances to 9-1 with the victory.

Randy Costa's incredible high kick KO of Journey Newson was also compensated financially. The finish came just 41 seconds into the bout and Costa (6-1) has now knocked out two straight opponents.

Finally, Damon Jackson's upset win over Mirsad Bektic was awarded 50 grand. Jackson's Round 3 comeback was a major upset as he sunk in a guillotine choke after losing both rounds.
