Stipe Miocic set a promotional record for most consecutive heavyweight title defenses at UFC 220, and he was well compensated for his work.
Miocic earned an event high $600,000 for his five-round decision victory over Francis Ngannou in the Jan. 20 headliner at the TD Garden in Boston. Ngannou, meanwhile, pocketed $500,000 in defeat. The Massachusetts State Athletic Commission released a list of salaries from the event on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier took home $500,000 for his second-round technical knockout triumph over Volkan Oezdemir ($350,000) in the co-main event.
