UFC featherweight champ Cris Cyborg is again the highest-paid fighter on a UFC pay-per-view card. Cyborg (19-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who stepped in on short notice to face Invicta FC bantamweight champ Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), will be paid $500,000 flat to step in the octagon for tonight’s UFC 222 headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. MMAjunkie obtained the UFC 222 salaries from a Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) official prior to the event. The second highest-paid fighter on Saturday’s card is ex-champ Andrei Arlovski (26-15 MMA, 15-9 UFC), who takes home a flat $275,000 for a bout with Stefan Struve (28-9 MMA, 12-7 UFC) on the pay-per-view main card, which follows prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight pass.
