Think you're an MMA expert? Fans will pick Fight of the Night at UFC 124!

Hardcore fans often have complaints with the bonuses handed out at UFC events. Dana White is making you guys the boss for a night. The UFC is allowing the fans to pick the two fighters who put on the best show.

The winners of the honor will each get $50,000! You a can vote at UFCvote.com.

Dana White will offer a $100,000 bonus to be split between the two fighters who participate in tonight's Fight of the Night. And for the first time ever, he's letting the fans choose it.

Starting at 10 pm ET/7 pm PT, fans around the world can vote at www.UFCVote.com via computer, iPhone/iPad or Android phone -- you can change your mind throughout the night, but only your final vote will be counted.

At the end of the broadcast, votes will be tallied and Dana will announce the winning bout at the Post Fight Press Conference, which can be viewed live at UFCLive.com

What's your prefight prediction? We'll play handicapper and rank them:

1. Charles Oliveira vs. Jim Miller
2. Thiago Alves vs. John Howard
3. Mark Bocek vs. Dustin Hazelett

Let's hope this doesn't turn into a popularity contest.

There's could be a controversial twist involved. If all five fights on the pay-per-view broadcast go the distance, there's an outside chance the true Fight of the Night could happen on the undercard and wouldn't been seen by the majority of fans voting.

The guess here is that, if that happened, the UFC would probably give an extra Fight of the Night honor.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. Now there's even more incentive to put on an exciting fight. Remember fighters, casual fans love a striking war. Hint, hint.
