def. Chris Gruetzemacher: $12,000

Trevin Giles: $28,000 (includes $14,000 win bonus)

Payout Perspective:

The total payroll for the event was $866,000 with the former WSOF champ making almost $200,000 with the inclusion of his $50,000 Performance Bonus.  Moraes was making $90K and $90K with WSOF, but there’s likely more room to grow (read: make more money in the longrun) in the UFC.

It seems that TKO has really screwed up WWE/Wrestlemania with ads and celebs and getting away from the heart of pro wrestling - and talented performers are paying the price.
