Ronda Rousey earned $3 million payday for UFC 207 loss to Amanda Nunes

Despite losing her return to the Octagon last night (Fri., Dec. 30, 2016) at UFC 207 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a crushing 48-second technical knockout defeat to women's Bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Ronda Rousey walked away with a massive payday worth $3 million, according to a report by MMA Junkie earlier this week.

Not too shabby, even for a fighter who openly stated she doesn't care about money entering her UFC 207 comeback. Nunes, meanwhile, hauled in a respectable $200,000 ($100,000 to show, $100,000 to win), as well as a percentage of PPV points and a $50,000 "Performance of the Night" bonus.
