  "account": "At UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues, held at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, main event fighters Anthony Hernandez and Gregory Rodrigues received the Fight of the Night bonus. The No. 7 ranked middleweight and No. 10 ranked middleweight put on a fierce battle that earned them an additional $100,000 each. The intense back-and-forth throughout the fight makes it a strong candidate for Fight of the Year.\n\nIn the co-main event, lightweight MarQuel Mederos and women's flyweight Carli Judice also earned Performance of the Night bonuses. Mederos stunned Mason Jones with a second-round TKO, while Judice secured a first-round finish over Jeisla Chaves. Eleven of the 13 bouts at the event ended in stoppages, with 16,867 spectators generating $3.3 million in gate receipts.
