Cerrone (30-7 MMA, 17-4 UFC), who stopped Patrick Cote (23-10 MMA, 10-10 UFC) by third-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 89 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, this past Saturday, said at the event’s post-fight news conference he is unhappy with his pay, despite the fact he received a Zuffa record 17th fight-night bonus on top of his contracted salary. The Ontario Athletic Commission did not release fighter purses for the event, but according to White, who discussed Cerrone’s comments on the debut episode of the “ UFC Unfiltered ” podcast, the UFC compensated “Cowboy” more than fairly with respect to the size of the event and the revenue it generated.
