Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar (pictured), who was on a “one-off” loaner from the WWE for the night, was by far and way the card’s highest earner with a UFC-record $2.5 million show purse. Lesnar did not receive a win bonus for defeating Mark Hunt in the co-main event, but will make make a boatload after receiving his piece of the pay-per-view pie.
Hunt scored $700,000 for facing Lesnar.
Miesha Tate, who lost her bantamweight belt to Amanda Nunes in the featured attraction, made $500,000. Nunes walked away with a flat Amanda Nunes: $100,000 salary in addition to her new jewelry.
