Cynthia Calvillo and Andre Fili walked away as the highest earners this past weekend when it came to base pay.
Calvillo earned the biggest win of her career following a unanimous decision victory over Jessica Eye in the UFC Vegas 2 headliner on Saturday night.
For her efforts, Calvillo took home $110,000 ($55,000 to show, $55,000 win bonus) in base pay with an additional $12,750 after Eye was fined 25 percent of her purse for missing weight to take the former’s total to $122,750. That meant Eye went home with $38,250 following her second loss in three fights.
Fili also netted $110,000 on the night as he earned $55,000 to show and $55,000 as a win bonus following his split verdict victory over Charles Jourdain. Jourdain made just $16,000 on the other hand.
The biggest earner on the night overall, however, was middleweight Marvin Vettori who took home $148,000 after earning $86,000 in base bay, a $50,000 perofrmance of the night bonus and $12,000 from opponent Karl Roberson’s purse after the latter missed weight. Roberson made $28,000 in total.
