Five fighters from Saturday’s UFC 222 event earned disclosed payouts that hit six figures. MMAjunkie obtained the list of official fight purses and win bonuses from the Nevada State Athletic Commission prior to the pay-per-view event, which took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event’s top earner was women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (20-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who made a successful title defense with a first-round TKO victory over Yana Kunitskaya (10-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC). Cyborg earned a flat payday of $500,000, and Kunitskaya received $100,000. (Like Cyborg, Kunitskaya wouldn’t have received a win bonus if victorious.) Related Dana White considers Cris Cyborg next for Amanda Nunes over Raquel Pennington Former heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski (27-15 MMA, 16-9 UFC), who scored a unanimous-decision victory over Stefan Struve (28-10 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in a main-card bout, earned a flat $275,000. Struve earned $77,000, and he would have been eligible for an additional $77,000 if victorious.
