Four fighters have left UFC Fight Island 8 a little richer, including very-deserving Fight of the Night recipients Mike Davis and Mason Jones.
Davis and Jones engaged in a back and forth war in their lightweight bout that saw Davis emerge with the unanimous victory. It's especially nice to see a bonus being handed out to a fighter making their UFC debut, as that additional revenue can make all the difference in their calibre of training going forward.

Umar Nurmagomdeov, the cousin of lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, got the card off to an exciting start scoring a very slick technical submission via rear-naked choke in the second fight on the card. While Warlley Alves scored a devastating body kick knockout via three consecutive kicks to the ribs and liver of Mounir Lazzez.
