Newly crowned UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was one of seven fighters to clear the six-figure mark in earnings on Saturday night, having done so for his historic victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 226.
The Nevada Athletic Commission released the event’s finalized salary information on Monday to MMA Fighting.
Cormier defeated Miocic via first-round knockout to become only the second-ever dual-division UFC champion in the night’s main event. Cormier pocketed a flat $500,000 purse for his win, while Miocic earned an event-high $750,000 purse in a losing effort.
