UFC on ESPN 12 purses: Dustin Poirier, Dan Hooker, and Mike Perry clear six-figures

Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker put on a five-round war that will go down as one of MMA’s best fights of 2020. The winner of the bout was going to have the highest purse on the entire card, and obviously that proved to be Poirier. In his first fight since losing to champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, “The Diamond” banked $300,000 ($150,000/$150,000) to be far and away the night’s highest earner. Dan Hooker was guaranteed six figures in defeat, but $220,000 sounds a hell of a lot better than $110,000.

Your next highest earner is Mike Perry, whose win over Mickey Gall saw his money double from $90,000 to $180,000.
