TUF 24 salaries: Demetrious Johnson makes 350k for title defense

TUF Finales aren't generally events that eat up a lot of UFC salary. After all, most of the fighters on the card are fighting on virtual TUF contracts outside of the top two or three fights. This time around though, it was different. While only three fighters made more than 100k, there were plenty of other salaries that exceeded your average 10k base salary.

On the main card, anyway.

Leading the way was UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson, who pocketed a cool 350k for his title defense victory over TUF winner Tim Elliott.
