UFC Vegas 88 went down on Mar. 16 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the card lacked a 'Fight of the Night' worthy brawl, it did produce some impressive finishes and 'Performance of the Night.'

The main event saw Tai Tuivasa and Marcin Tybura finally clash after their UFC 298 matchup was postponed due to Tuivasa suffering a knee injury. Tuivasa, known for his explosive knockouts, fell to Tybura via first-round submission, extending his losing skid to four fights.

Despite a strong start with a glancing elbow that bloodied Tybura, Tuivasa succumbed to a takedown and a flurry of strikes before being choked unconscious.

Although there was no 'Fight of the Night', four fighters received 'Performance of the Night' bonuses, taking home an extra $50,000 for their impressive displays.
