The salaries are in for Friday night’s TUF 26 Finale event and they show that due to the fact they were fighting for the inaugural women’s flyweight title, both Nicco Montano and Roxanne Modafferi emerged with a $100,00 payday.
That was good news for Modafferi, who took the fight on extremely short notice, but it must also sting for Sijara Eubanks who missed out on both her title opportunity and financial reward after being pulled from the card due to missing weight.
The salaries take a significant dip after the headliner, with the next highest being Joe Soto, who took home $31,000 even though he lost on the night, while his opponent Brett Johns joined Gerald Meerschaert and Andrew Sanchez in banking $28,000.
