UFC 200 salary report: Brock Lesnar sets new record for highest disclosed payout

UFC 200 saw an absolutely stacked event card from beginning to end and the monumental pay-per-view event is likely the biggest payout in UFC history because of that.

Brock Lesnar took home the biggest check with his disclosed payout of $2.5 million, setting a new record for the highest disclosed payout in UFC history. Prior to Lesnar’s pay for his UFC 200 win over Mark Hunt, who made $700,000, Conor McGregor’s $1 million disclosed payout for UFC 196 set the record.

MMA Junkie reported the full disclosed payouts for UFC 200 after getting them from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Numerous fighters on the historic card took home six figures. Interestingly rising star Sage Northcutt who fought on the FS1 preliminary card took home twice as much as former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, who fought on the main card. Northcutt picked up a cool $100,000 with his contracted $50,000 to fight and an additional $50,000 to win in his fight versus Enrique Marin who had the smallest check from the event, which was $13,000. Dillashaw took home $50,000 with his contracted $25,000 to fight and additional $25,000 to win over Raphael Assuncao who took home $42,000 in his loss to the former champ.
