Take a look at the fighter salary and purse from the UFC 269 PPV

After getting off to a slow start, Oliveira upped the pace in the second and third. He finished Poirier with a standing rear-naked choke in the third round to retain his title.
In the co-main event, Julianna Pena produced one of the biggest upsets in the history of combat sports. The 32-year old American fought fire with fire and got the job done in Round 2 via. submission to get her hands on the women’s bantamweight belt. This was Nunes’ first loss in more than 7 years.
Geoff Neal and Santiago Ponzinibbio went the distance, and it was Neal who emerged victorious via. split decision.
Cody Garbrandt had a night to forget after his flyweight debut didn’t go as planned. He was knocked out by Kai Kara-France in the very first round.
Sean O’Malley once again lived up to his billing by knocking out Raulian Paiva to bring up his third straight win.
