UFC on FOX 17 payouts, salaries: Alistair Overeem breaks bank with $542,857 payday

UFC on FOX 17 fighter payouts and salaries for the athletes who competed at the "Dos Anjos vs. Cerrone" FOX-televised event last Saturday (Dec. 19, 2015) inside Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., were released by Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

Leading the pack is Alistair Overeem, who banked a whopping $542,857 payday after knocking out Junior dos Santos in the second round of their co-main event showdown (see it). The Heavyweight fight was the last one on "The Reem's" contract, which means now that it's time to re-up, he could be in line for an even bigger payday in his next outing.
