UFC 241 Results: Bonus Winners, Highlights, Analysis And Twitter Reaction
Stipe Miocic regained the UFC Heavyweight Championship after stopping Daniel Cormier in a thrilling main event that culminated an exciting night of fights.
Miocic was knocked out by Cormier in their first meeting back in 2018, but he exacted his revenge in Anaheim on Saturday night.
After being dominated through the first three rounds of the rematch, Miocic made a brilliant adjustment. He started landing hard left hooks to Cormier's body that forced the opening for a powerful right hand that created the finish.
Cormier was outboxing Miocic through the first 15 minutes of the fight, and he even secured a huge takedown in the first round. However, he wouldn't keep his hands up and the now former champion also abandoned his wrestling.
Those missing aspects to his game and Miocic's toughness led to the result. Here is how the MMA world reacted to Miocic's victory:
Miocic's win earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Cormier is now left pondering retirement and Miocic may have another rematch down the road against Francis Ngannou.

Worthy was the biggest underdog on the card, but he cemented at least some piece of a future with the UFC with the victory. Worthy also earned the other Performance of the Night bonus.
