The payslips from last weekend's UFC 307 event have leaked online - and there are some notable numbers involved.
The event took place from Salt Lake City, Utah, with Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr headlining the main card.Elsewhere, Julianna Pena - who famously defeated Amanda Nunes in 2021 - defeated Raquel Pennington via split decision after five rounds to win the Women's Bantamweight Championship.: Marc Goddard came up to me and he said, 'I've been doing this for 20 years, the way he hits people, the sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. It's ungodly'.
His opponent, meanwhile, earned $1.38 million in comparison, while the now former women's bantamweight champion Pennington earned a marginally higher amount in $1.39 million.Pena earned $1.03 million - the Illnois-billed fighter being the fourth and final competitor to receive over seven figures. The fighter with the lowest base pay from the night was Cesar Almeida, who earned $64,500 for defeating Ihor Potieria on the preliminary card.
