Justin Gaethje successfully defended a title at World Series of Fighting 23, while David Branch added another belt to his trophy case. As a result, both fighters earned an event-high $100,000.
The Arizona MMA and Boxing Commission released salary information from the card to Sherdog.com on Tuesday. WSOF 23 took place at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix on Friday night.
Gaethje had another memorable brawl with Luis Palomino ($20,000) in the evening’s headliner before putting his opponent away with punches 4:30 into the second round of their lightweight championship clash.
