The UFC 227 fighter salaries have been published and show that the evening’s top earner was actually dethroned flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, who banked $380,000 despite tasting defeat for the first time in seven years.
Following closely behind was bantamweight champion TJ DIllashaw, who took home $350,000, while the man he defeated, Cody Garbrandt was next up with a $200,000 payday.
The only other fighter on the card to register a six figure payday was newly crowned 125lb champion Henry Cejudo, who trousered $100,000 for his night’s work.
However, not far off the mark was Thiago Santos who earned $96,000 for his main card opening victory over Kevin Holland.
