WSOF 22 salaries: Marlon Moraes cashes $140,000 payday for WSOF title defense

Marlon Moraes picked up a nice chunk of change for the latest defense of his World Series of Fighting title. Moraes, the promotion's only ever bantamweight champion, inked a new deal with WSOF in June. On Saturday that deal came to fruition, as Moraes earned a $140,000 payday for his third-round submission over Sheymon Moraes in WSOF 22's co-main event, according to information released by the Nevada Athletic Commission to MMAFighting.com.

Aside from Moraes, the card's leading earner was welterweight champion Rousimar Palhares, though his take was half of what it could've been.
