The official payouts for UFC Jacksonville were recently released by Florida State Boxing Commission for those fighters competing at the “Teixeira vs Smith” event, held last night (Weds., May 13, 2020) inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Andrei Arlovski was the top earner of the night, pulling in $325,000 for his unanimous decision win over fellow Heavyweight banger, Philipe Lins, who took home $80,000 for his loss in what was his Octagon debut.
Scoring the second highest payday was event headliner Glover Teixeira, who banked a cool $280,000 after brutalizing Anthony Smith — who banked $130,000 — en route to a fifth round technical knockout (TKO) win.
