Off the back of his day notice title fight at UFC 311, Renato Moicano has revealed he earned $900,000 in his return to action against pound-for-pound number one, Islam Makhachev — despite his dominant opening round loss.
Moicano, who replaced an injury-stricken, Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 311 over the course of last weekend, headlined the promotion’s return to California in a short-notice championship fight against Makhachev on just one day notice at the Intuit Dome.
And dropping a one-sided opening round D’Arce choke submission loss to the Russian — in disclosed paydays released by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), Moicano pocketed $250,000 for drafting in on short-notice.
