Marlon Moraes only put in a little more than one minute’s work at UFC Fight Night 123, but he nonetheless walked away with the evening’s biggest disclosed purse.
The ex-World Series of Fighting bantamweight champion earned $146,000 for his 67-second knockout of Aljamain Sterling ($36,000) in a featured 135-pound contest at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., this past Saturday night. The California State Athletic Commission released salaries from the event on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Brian Ortega garnered $58,000 for his second-round submission of Cub Swanson ($76,000) in the UFC Fight Night 123 headliner.
