Erosa knocks out Lee in 91 seconds to seal $100,000 bonus in retirement fight at UFC Vegas 123

Julian Erosa signed off on a lengthy MMA career with a statement finish at UFC Vegas 123 on October 31, 2026, knocking out Jeong Yeong Lee with a single right hand just 91 seconds into their featherweight contest to earn a $100,000 performance-of-the-night bonus.

Erosa (32-13) survived an early scare before landing the decisive blow, a clean right hand that dropped Lee and brought an immediate stoppage. The finish capped a career that included notable wins over Darren Elkins, Charles Jourdain and Sean Woodson, and gave the veteran known as “Juicy J” the kind of exit few fighters manage to script.

Three other fighters also collected $100,000 bonuses on the card. Undefeated prospect Lucia Szabova (11-0) was dominant throughout her preliminary bout against Tainara Lisboa, ending the fight with heavy ground-and-pound. Joe Kropschot (10-3) earned his bonus with a slick second-round armbar that forced Nick Klein to tap in their middleweight contest.

Main event winner Tom Nolan rounded out the bonus recipients after stopping Renato Carneiro by TKO in the third round. The finish came with controversy attached — referee Dan Miragliotta stood the fight up while Carneiro had Nolan’s back, a decision that drew immediate scrutiny. Nolan capitalised on the restart, hurt Carneiro with a knee and eventually forced the stoppage to claim the win and the extra $100,000.
