Bellator 106 Salaries

The Salaries resulting from last night’s Bellator 106 event have been released and show that the new lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez was the top earner with $160,000. That’ll no doubt come in very handy given the fact that Alvarez had been frozen out of fighting for most of the year due to a legal dispute with the promotion.

‘Fight Master’ winner Joe Riggs trousered $100,000, while Michael Chandler was next up with $95,000.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
