Three fast finishes highlight UFC 324 as bonuses rise and weight miss shakes the card

UFC 324 opened with three first-round stoppages, including Alex Perez’s TKO of Charles Johnson after Perez missed weight and forfeited 25% of his purse. The card kept a brisk pace with more quick finishes (Ty Miller’s KO of Adam Fugitt and Josh Hokit’s stoppage of Denzel Freeman) and several upcoming bouts (Nikita Krylov vs. Modestas Bukauskas, Alex Perez vs. Charles Johnson). UFC also announced boosted bonuses: Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night each up to $100,000, plus a $25,000 stoppage bonus for KO/TKO/submission.
