New UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos snagged the belt and the biggest disclosed payday at UFC on FOX, collecting $220,000 in salary and win bonus.
The California State Athletic Commission released the information to MMA Fighting on Thursday.
dos Santos beat champ Cain Velasquez in a 64-second knockout in the night’s main event at the Honda Center in Anaheim. dos Santos also earned the night’s Knockout of the Night bonus, pocketing another $65,000 and bringing his total disclosed payday to $285,000.
Velasquez earned a disclosed amount of $100,000, but likely earned far more as the UFC renegotiated his deal after moving his fight from pay-per-view to network television. Velasquez usually receives a cut of the pay-per-view proceeds.
Velasquez also received a mandatory 45-day suspension following his knockout loss.
Co-main event winner Ben Henderson earned $60,000 for his three-round unanimous decision over Clay Guida. The victory also earned Henderson the No. 1 contender spot in the lightweight division, and a February date with champ Frank Edgar.
Among injury issues, Kid Yamamoto was put on the shelf for 180 days after suffering a possible broken finger on his left hand. Suspensions can often be lifted early upon clearance from an orthopedist.
