UFC on Fox 3: Attendance, gate, and bonuses from New Jersey
Posted on May 5, 2012, 11:30 PM by Mike DrahotaThe attendance, gate, and post-fight bonuses have been announced for tonight's UFC on Fox 3 from the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The event produced an exciting night of fights, and 10,788 fans witnessed the event in person for a live gate of $1.1 million. With two fights containing clear title-shot implications for the future, UFC on Fox 3 was a great success as a non pay-per-view event. The $65,000 bonuses were issued as following:
Submission of the Night:
Nate Diaz earned this award by becoming the first-ever fighter to finish Jim Miller with his vicious guillotine choke. He appeared to play with Miller, now we will see if he can handle either Ben Henderson or Frankie Edgar for the title.
Knockout of the Night:
Lavar Johnson earned this bonus by standing and trading with a standup specialist in Pat Barry. Both threw heat, and Johnson came out on top. He continues to impress since coming over from Strikeforce and should find himself with a step up in competition for his next bout.
Fight of the Night:
Louis Gaudinot vs. John Lineker was an absolute war, with Lineker appearing to have the upper hand in the triking department. However Gaudinot took Lineker's back and earned the chokeout in a great come-from-behind win that garnered the bonus.

what the hell did rogan do to his hair?
he lost it... you should help him find it, you seem to be more interested in that than the sick fights that took place
He had a head-shave bet with Nick about who could go the longest without eating a bag of Doritos after a night of "relaxing"
I think Dodson vs Elliot was FOTN
hahaha Now thats funny!
no. i was banging your lady during the fights.
I heard she subbed you before you rang the doorbell!
Hello and welcome jamo, always nice to have new clown around.
my lady is a crossdresser. i hope you were pleased with the surprise
what i didnt appreciate was the crowd booing during the prelims...i mean common..all the fights were technical and exciting...very uneducated crowd, not all fights are gonna end in a ko....these guys are fighting the top of the food chain here in the UFC, so please D.W. dont go back to jersey...all they know is drive-by's and mafia hits.....fkn morons...
Yeah that was bad. When Hathaway was on the ground laying down some good GnP they were still booing. very hard to please. Same as when Elliot had a bad eye poke they booed like they couldn't care less about it. Btw that Elliot fight was FOTN and also a bad decision. he won the last 2 rounds IMO.
Yea they are very hard to please crowd, hand out some free fake tan at the doors they might be happy.
So that's where Diaz got his color from
Diaz sub was nasty but Roland Delrome also pulled off a sick sub, in the prelims. The difference is Diaz has a lot of money between him and his bro but Delrome said he couldn't afford to pay his water bill and cut off not long before the fight... I know you can't give out on that basis but damn just seems pretty bad a UFC fighter can't even afford water.
You never know, that guy might have a Josh Bling issue as well, and still complain. IDK
