Bellator 206 salaries have been released following a night of great fights that aired on not a television channel but rather a new streaming service. The California State Athletic Commission released the Bellator 206 salaries on Sunday and some of the top tier talents got paid some major cash.

Bellator 206 took place on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The preliminary card aired online at 7:00 pm EST while the main card aired on DAZN at 10:00 PM EST.

Gegard Mousasi vs. Rory MacDonald for the middleweight title served as the headliner that saw Mousasi successfully retain after finishing the fight by TKO. Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva in a heavyweight bout was the co-main event, which marked the fourth time they have fought each other and had Jackson winning to tie it up.

Rounding out the six bout main card is Andrey Koreshkov vs. Douglas Lima in a welterweight tournament opening round, Leandro Higo vs. Aaron Pico in a featherweight bout, Keri Melendez vs. Dakota Zimmerman in a women’s strawweight bout, and Gaston Bolanos vs. Ysidro Gutierrez in a featherweight bout.

Jackson and Silva made the most bank out of any fighter on this card as the former UFC light heavyweight champion made $300,000 (no win bonus) while the MMA Legend made $200,000 (no win bonus). In the headliner, Mousasi and MacDonald made the exact same amount of money with $150,000 (no win bonus)

Last night’s (Sat., September 29, 2018) Bellator 206 from the SAP Center in San Jose, California, was one of the best cards in promotional history on paper.

With the results now in the books, it’s safe to say the event delivered on that lofty promise due to the sheer amount of action involved.

Gegard Mousasi dominated Rory MacDonald to retain the middleweight title (highlights here) in the main event. Rampage Jackson finished Wanderlei Silva (highlights) to even their four-fight series at two wins apiece.

Douglas Lima got the Bellator World Welterweight Grand Prix off to a great start by submitting Andrey Koreshkov. And finally, Aaron Pico continued his meteoric rise with another brutal first-round KO (watch it).

There’s a lot to unpack. Find out how social media reacted to the action-filled event right here:

The Gegard Mousasi vs. Rory MacDonald main event of tonight’s (Sat., September 29, 2018) Bellator 206 from the SAP Center in San Jose, California, was supposed to be a closely-matched super fight between two champions.

It seems like it turned out to be anything but.

Middleweight champion Mousasi therefore proved he was simply a class above welterweight champion MacDonald by dominating him from pillar to post. ‘The Dreamcatcher’ popped his patented jab with ruthless efficiency in the first round, bloody a statuesque MacDonald who did next to nothing.

The second round was where it ended. MacDonald rolled for what looked like an attempt at a kneebar and Mousasi reversed. He began raining down vicious elbows and punches, dominating the fight thanks to his size and skill. Mousasi mounted MacDonald with ease and dominated him with ground and pound.

The referee had no choice but to stop the action because of his relentless onslaught. MacDonald had no answer for Mousasi at Bellator 206. Watch the full fight video highlights of his lopsided victory right here:
