TUF 20 Finale Salaries: Esparza Banks $50,000, Oliveira $54,000
The Ultimate Fighter 20 finale went down this past Friday (December 12th, 2014) with the inaugural women’s strawweight title up for grabs in the main event. Carla Esparza dominated the consensus favorite Rose Namajunas to capture the title in a night of pretty decent fights. The historic event will undoubtedly pave way to what looks to be a thrilling weight class. Watch out women’s bantamweight.
Esparza banked $50,ooo for her TUF 20 finale win over “Thug”, and Charles Oliveira made $54,000 for his one-sided win against Jeremy Stephens. Pity the bottom of the pack, who fail to make $50K in all four Fight Pass prelims combined. Perhaps this recent news will soon make a change to the payscale issues.
“Lil Heathen” pocketed $40K and KJ Noons/Daron Cruickshank bagged $31,000 and $17,000 respectively.
