Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald led the disclosed payroll for Bellator 220, cashing a flat $200,000 purse for his headlining bout against Jon Fitch.
The California State Athletic Commission released Bellator 220’s official purse list following the event on Saturday, which was first reported by MMA Junkie.
MacDonald and Fitch fought to a majority draw in the night’s main event, which also served as the final quarterfinal matchup of Bellator’s welterweight grand prix. Because of MacDonald’s status as champion and the nature of the tournament, “The Red King” ultimately advanced to a semifinal matchup against Neiman Gracie despite his contest against Fitch ending in an anticlimactic majority draw.
