World Series of Fighting bantamweight champion Marlon Moraes pocketed an event-high $140,000 for his successful title defense at WSOF 22.
The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday released a list of disclosed payments from the event, which took place Aug. 1 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Moraes retained his belt in the show’s co-headliner, as the streaking Brazilian took out countryman Sheymon da Silva Moraes ($10,000) with a third-round rear-naked choke.
WSOF welterweight champ Rousimar Palhares received only half of his winnings from his third-round kimura finish of Jake Shields in the evening’s main event.
