UFC 213 salaries: Alistair Overeem gets more than Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker combined

Disclosed pay reveals Alistair Overeem as the top earner at UFC 213, with him making substantially more than both headlining fighters.

Ahead of UFC 213 at the T-Mobile Arena, in Paradise, NV ESPN’s Brett Okamoto and Yahoo’s Kevin Iole revealed the disclosed purses for a number of fighters competing at the event. Former Pride and K1 kingpin Alistair Overeem leads the way with a hefty flat rate of $800,000.

Behind Overeem are the two men competing in the headline fight: Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero. They’ll each receive $350,000 (with no win bonus) for their efforts to win the UFC’s interim middleweight championship.

Had UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes not been hospitalized and her fight with Valentina Shevchenko gone ahead each fighter would have received at least $100,000 (per John Morgan of MMA Junkie).
