Andrei Arlovski and Ben Rothwell may not have been in the main event during Wednesday night’s UFC card from Jacksonville, but the two heavyweights secured the highest salaries on paper at the event.
On Thursday, the Florida State Boxing Commission released the total disclosed salaries for the card in an email sent to MMA Fighting. The commission does not release specific figures for “show” and “win” purses; UFC fighters often split their pay 50-50 between the two.
Arlovski led all fighters with a $325,000 payday for his win over former PFL champion Philipe Lins, who was making his octagon debut.
