Demetrious Johnson continued to prove that he is one the sport’s pound-for-pound best performers at UFC 191, but that didn’t mean he topped Saturday’s payroll.
“Mighty Mouse” garnered $191,000 for his dominant five-round verdict over John Dodson ($60,000) in the UFC 191 headliner at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, according to salary figures released by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday. Three fighters – Andrei Arlovski ($225,000), Frank Mir ($200,000) and Anthony Johnson ($230,000) -- took home more than the reigning flyweight king.
