LAS VEGAS – Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker each will make $350,000 for their UFC interim middleweight title fight at UFC 213, per disclosed purses released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. MMAjunkie today requested and received the show and win purses for the pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which is regulated by the NSAC. Romero (12-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Whittaker (18-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) are not scheduled to receive a win bonus, indicating they are likely to receive a cut of pay-per-view profits for the interim title bout. The top disclosed purse for the event belongs to onetime heavyweight title challenger Alistair Overeem (42-15 MMA, 7-4 UFC), who will receive a flat $800,000 for his trilogy bout with Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC). The Brazilian ex-champ will receive $275,000 to show and $125,000 to win.
