According to MMA Junkie, Maximo Blanco was fined 20 percent of his purse for missing weight and the fine went to Mike De La Torre. Perhaps fitting considering it appeared that the fight ended too early due to ref stoppage.
Payout Perspective:
There does not appear to be anything too out of the ordinary from the payouts. Certainly, Cyborg is getting paid much more than the rest of the Invicta FC roster since she is being prepped for a UFC run. She is making $50K/$50K when the next highest paid fighter is making just $6,000. Ellenberger at $73,000 should be highlighted as he might be close to being either let go or asked to renegotiate contract.
