Payout Perspective:
Notably, Will Brooks earned $100,000 for his UFC debut against Ross Pearson. Brooks, the former Bellator lightweight champ that was released from the Viacom-owned company in May was making approximately $36K/$36K although there were reports that Bellator offered him more to stay. For Brooks, starting at $50K/$50K shows respect by the UFC that they think he has potential to be a headliner. For Gadelha, her $100K salary reflects a 10x increase from her first fight with Jedrzejczyk at UFC on Fox 13 in December 2014.
