Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently dropped the curtain on its UFC Fight Night 155 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which aired on ESPN+ last Sat. night (July 13, 2019) inside Golden1 Center in Sacramento, California.
That means it’s time for the promotion to cut checks for services rendered, and no fighter did as well as “The California Kid,” who banked a whopping $340,000 for his technical knockout win over Ricky Simon in the co-main event (highlights here).
No other fighter was able to crack six figures.
Featherweight veteran Josh Emmett came in second with $98,000 for knocking out Mirsad Bektic (watch it), while event headliner, Germaine de Randamie, came in third with $90,000 for stopping Aspen Ladd in controversial fashion.
