Payout Perspective:
In addition to the $30,000 earned by Taylor, he received $290,000 which included $250,000 for winning TUF and then $40,000 in wins and bonuses during the season. The payroll far exceeds the total reported gate of $432,495. In his debut with the company, former WSOF lightweight champ Justin Gaethje is making $100,000 and $100,000 which seems commensurate to his status and fight style as an entertaining fight favorite. With his $100,000 bonuses for FOTN and POTN, Gaethje made out with $300,000 (not including Reebok pay) for the night.
