Full list of UFC 216 payouts and salaries: Tony Ferguson’s $500,000 leads the way

UFC 216 fighter payouts for those athletes competing at the “Ferguson vs. Lee” pay-per-view (PPV) event last night (Sat., Oct. 7, 2017) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, were released by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Leading the way was Tony Ferguson, who banked $500,000 for his win over Kevin Lee, which also gave him the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim Lightweight title and set him up or an even bigger payday against Conor McGregor.

The next highest payout was issued to Demetrious Johnson, who banked $370,000 after making history by earning his eleventh straight title defense after submitting Ray Borg in the co-main event.

However, we can expect Johnson’s payout to be a bit higher once it’s all said an done as “Mighty Mouse: will be earning pay-per-view (PPV) points from the event for the first time in his career.

That’s not all.
