TUF 22 Finale salaries: Frankie Edgar earns $360,000 for knockout of Chad Mendes

Frankie Edgar was the big winner at Friday's night TUF 22 Finale, and in more ways than one. Edgar more than tripled the event's next closest earner, scoring a $360,000 payday for his first-round knockout of Chad Mendes according to information released to MMA Fighting by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Despite not being known for his one-punch knockout power, Edgar floored Mendes with a sensational left hook less than three minutes into the pair's featherweight main event.

Mendes took home $82,000 in his losing effort, a steep decline from the $500,000 show purse he pocketed in July for his UFC 189 fight against Conor McGregor.
