UFC Seattle Fighters Earn $320K Payouts Amid Controversy
At UFC Seattle on February 22, Song Yadong achieved a significant victory over Henry Cejudo via technical decision after Cejudo was unable to continue due to an eye poke. Yadong earned the highest payout of the night at $320,000, matching Rob Font, who also took home $320,000 for his win against Jean Matsumoto. Cejudo's payout was $150,000, reflecting a notable difference given his status as a former two-division champion. The event featured several fighters earning six-figure salaries, with Anthony Hernandez and Brendan Allen also among the top earners, with Hernandez receiving $144,000 and Allen $210,000. These payouts were disclosed through a FOIA request from the Washington State Department of Licensing. It is important to note that these amounts do not include potential bonuses or other financial incentives beyond the disclosed salaries.
