UFC Mexico saw several rising stars awarded for thrilling finishes, including octagon newcomers David Martinez and Ateba Gautier.

Four Performance of the Night bonuses were handed out Saturday at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, with Martinez, Gautier, Edgar Chairez, and Manuel Torres all earning an extra $50,000.

For Martinez and Gautier, their UFC debuts could not have gone better. Both are recent signings off of Dana White’s Contender Series and both delivered highlight-reel knockouts.
