UFC 197 fighter payouts for those athletes competing at the "Jones vs. Saint Preux" pay-per-view (PPV) event last weekend (Sat., April 23, 2016) from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, were released earlier today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
UFC interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones raked in $500,000 for his five-round decision win over Ovince Saint Preux (video), who despite the loss, has 55,000 reasons to feel better about his performance. Elsewhere on the card, Demetrious Johnson hauled in $195,000 -- and defended his flyweight title -- for creaming Henry Cejudo (watch it).
