Payout Perspective:
Clearly, the Jackson-Silva matchup was the one Bellator thought would draw fans due to the pay for each fighter. Mousasi-MacDonald was up there too although Jackson still commands a lion’s share of the roster pay. Notably, Douglas Lima’s flat rate pay is getting up there as well. Also, Aaron Pico is starting to see a step-up in pay earning $40K and $40K per fight.
