While many have had a laugh at the expense of Ronda Rousey over the internet following UFC 207, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion is getting the last laugh as she is cashing in to the tune of $3,000,000. Her cashout ties the record for the highest purse by a UFC fighter with Conor McGregor from his UFC 202 rematch with Nate Diaz.
Not only did she tie the record and earn more than any other fighter on the card, Rousey earned more than everyone on the card COMBINED. With what she has done for the sport and women’s mixed martial arts it’s hard to argue that she doesn’t deserve every penny.
As for the rest of the card he’s how the payouts took shape:
Amanda Nunes ($100,000 + $100,000 = $200,000) def. Ronda Rousey ($3,000,000)
