On Monday, the Nevada Athletic Commission released the disclosed fighter salaries for International Fight Week, which included UFC 200, TUF 23 Finale and UFC Fight Night: dos Anjos vs. Alvarez.
For the TUF 23 Finale, it was UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk who led the way with $210,000, topping the $1,020,000 payroll.
Jedrzejczyk’s challenger, Claudia Gadelha, received $100,000 flat for her performance.
Former Bellator champion Will Brooks, who made his UFC debut by defeating Ross Pearson, was the only other fighter to hit six figures for the event with $100,000.
