Cyborg will make a guaranteed $500,000 and Kunitskaya will take home a guaranteed $100,000 at UFC 222, per a document obtained by MMA Fighting from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC). Cyborg will defend her UFC women’s featherweight title against Kunitskaya in the main event of the card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Cyborg also made a guaranteed $500,000 for her fight against Holly Holm at UFC 219 in December. She didn’t receive a win bonus in either bout. Cyborg, 32, gets a share of the pay-per-view revenue for the event Saturday as well.
