Rosholt earns $60,000 bonus

The drama didn’t end for Sandpoint native Jake Rosholt when he slapped a brutal arm-triangle choke hold to win by submission over Chris Leben as part of Saturday night’s UFC 102 event at the Rose Garden.

Backstage after his fight he was riveted to a monitor, imploring Randy Couture to escape a choke hold by Antonio Nogueira in the main event. Couture would go on to lose, but not by submission, earning Rosholt the UFC “Submission of the Night” bonus, a cool $60,000 windfall for the former Sandpoint wrestling legend.
