Bellator 238 salaries: Julia Budd makes more than Cris Cyborg
Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty ImagesBellator’s first event of the year featured the debut of Cris Cyborg, and she delivered with a later-round TKO victory over Julia Budd to add another title to her collection. Cyborg was never a really good fit in the UFC, so it made sense why she would want to leave. The grass is sometimes greener on the other side, and there’s frequently more money to be made as well.
In Cyborg’s case, somewhat surprisingly, she didn’t end up making as much as the opponent she stopped.
