Dominick Cruz’s championship victory over T.J. Dillashaw in the UFC Fight Night Boston headliner made him the second-highest earner at the Jan. 17 event.
“The Dominator” pocketed $110,000 for his five-round, split decision triumph over Dillashaw ($70,000) at the TD Garden in Boston last month. The Massachusetts State Athletic Commission released salary figures from the UFC Fight Night event to Sherdog.com on Friday.
Only Travis Browne, who made $120,000 for a controversial third-round technical knockout triumph over Matt Mitrione ($36,000) in a featured heavyweight clash, made more than Cruz.
