In a night filled with slick submissions and gritty decisions, Dustin Jacoby stood alone as the only fighter to score a knockout at UFC Vegas 107. And not just any knockout — a clean, clinical first-round finish of Bruno Lopes that sent a clear message to the light heavyweight division.

Jacoby’s striking was on full display, showing the kind of timing and power that makes fans and fighters alike take notice. It was the kind of performance that usually screams bonus-worthy. But when the UFC’s Performance of the Night honors were announced — Jacoby’s name was absent.

That snub didn’t go unnoticed. Fans and pundits quickly voiced their confusion online, calling it a rare miss in UFC’s bonus logic. After all, when you’re the only KO on the card, and it comes in under one round, what more can a fighter do?

Still, Jacoby keeps moving forward. The knockout adds another highlight to his already impressive resume and reinforces his reputation as a problem for anyone standing across from him in the Octagon.

💬 What’s Next?
While he may have been overlooked by the matchmakers this time, Jacoby’s performance made it clear: he’s not just here to compete — he’s here to climb.

Whether the bonus came or not, the message was received: Jacoby’s hands still cash checks.
