UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva received "Knockout of the Night" honors for his highlight-reel front kick finish of title challenger Vitor Belfort at UFC 126 on Saturday.

All post-fight bonuses winners were awarded $75,000.

The night's top submission went to Jon Jones, who submitted Ryan Bader with a second-round guillotine choke and earned himself a shot at UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the process.

"Fight of the Night" went to Paul Taylor and Gabe Ruediger, who engaged in a two-round war that Taylor finished by knocking Ruediger out with a head kick.
