The baddest man on the planet is finally getting paid like one.
UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic led the disclosed payroll for UFC 220, earning an event-high $600,000 purse for his record-breaking title defense over Francis Ngannou. The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation released the event’s finalized salary information Tuesday to MMA Fighting.
Miocic handily defeated Ngannou via unanimous decision in UFC 220’s headlining bout to notch the third consecutive defense of his UFC heavyweight title, setting a new divisional record in the process. Ngannou earned $500,000 in the losing effort.
