TJ Dillashaw received the highest salary at UFC 177, an event held last Saturday, August 30, in the city of Sacramento, California (USA). The UFC bantamweight champion, who made his first title defense against Joe Soto, pocketed US$100 in salary, half for the performance, half for the victory he achieved.
The challenger, who accepted the fight at short notice after the problems suffered by Renan Barao during the weight cut, he took home $20. Despite having the main fight of the night, Soto did not have a salary advantage over the Brazilians who participated in the event.
Bethe Correia, who defeated Shayna Baszler by technical knockout, received US$24 for the fight. Already Carlos Diego Ferreira, who knocked out Ramsey Nijem, took $20.
