Payout Perspective:

Rousey will make more with her cut of the PPV and it is reported that she should make at least $1 million for her title defense on Saturday. As for the rest of the card, Holly Holm debuts with a $25K/$25K deal. Aside from Zingano and Rousey, Josh Koschek ($78K/$78K) and Jake Ellenberger ($68K/$68K) are the other high-paid fighters on Saturday’s card.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?
