Payout Perspective:
Anthony Johnson’s salary is a substantial decrease from his reported pay in his May fight with Daniel Cormier when he made $500,000. Hence, one might assume that the $500K payday was just a “one off” due to AJ’s fight for the title. Johnson did grab another $50K win bonus to total $280K for the night. Demetrious Johnson’s pay grew by at least $8,000 as his last reported payday from UFC 178 last September was $183K including a $54K win bonus. No official pay info from UFC 186 for Mighty Mouse.

FightBusiness says
220k salary = UFC “killing it” lol
d says
Fightbusiness, 220k salary, as opposed to PBC who pays their headliners over a million from money that is going right down the drain. UFC = sustainable business, PBC = massive financial losses.
Haha.
