UFC 175 Payroll: Chris Weidman Banks $450,000, Struve & Mitrione Still Paid
UFC 175 went down this past Saturday July 5, and provided fans at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with an action packed evening of fun fights. Of course there were huge title implications with Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida at the head of the card, supplemented by Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis as co-main.
Both champions were on form, as Rousey steamrolled Davis in 16 seconds, and ‘The All-American’ fought an exciting and gritty five-round slugger with ‘The Dragon’. As we look at the UFC 175 payroll, which reached just over $1.1 million, it does not show that Matt Mitrione or Stefan Struve were paid, though this is not the case. Dana White confirmed that both men received full pay including win bonuses; Struve nets k, while ‘Meathead’ gets k, after the fight was cancelled when ‘Skyscraper’ feinted.
Chris Weidman topped the bank roll with a nice sum of 0k, followed by Ronda Rousey and Urijah Faber who made 0k. Check out the full disclosed salary, not included are locker room bonuses and sponsorship pay:
