Former UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier led the way for the disclosed payroll at UFC 214, serving as one of 11 fighters to clear the six-figure mark in earnings for his performance in Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday night. The California State Athletic Commission released the event’s finalized salary information this weekend to MMA Fighting.
Cormier suffered a third-round knockout loss to Jones in a long-anticipated rematch at UFC 214 to lose his light heavyweight title. Cormier was paid a flat $1,000,000 purse in the losing effort, as previously reported by MMA Fighting, while Jones earned a flat $500,000 purse with no win bonus in victory.
