SAN DIEGO – Five of the six Bellator 300 main card participants won a published payout of $150,000, with Cris Cyborg winning double that amount.
Andy Foster, executive director of the California Athletic Commission, released the complete list of fighters' purses to MMA Junkie on Saturday. This amount reflects only disclosed payouts and does not include non-contractual bonuses, sponsor payments, or discretionary bonuses.
Lightweight champions Usman Nurmagomedov, Brent Primus and Cat Zingano, flyweight champions Liz Carmouche and Ilima-Rae MacFarlane each won $150,000, and women's featherweight champion Cyborg received $300,000. All six fighters earned a flat amount of money rather than being paid show money or win money.
