Conor McGregor can stock up on more alligator-skin dress shoes after his UFC 189 victory over Chad Mendes.
According to a release from the Nevada State Athletic Commission obtained by the MMA Report, both McGregor and Mendes made $500,000 for their roles in Saturday's main event.
For those into math and big numbers, that means they were each making $3 million per hour (the fight lasted almost exactly 10 minutes).
Here's the full breakdown:
- Rory MacDonald: $59,000
- Jeremy Stephens: $72,000 (includes $40,000 win bonus)
- Brandon Thatch: $22,000
- Brad Pickett: $30,000
- Matt Brown: $92,000 (includes $46,000 win bonus)
- Tim Means: $23,000
- Alex Garcia: $30,000 (includes $15,000 win bonus)
- John Howard: $42,000 (includes $21,000 win bonus)
Most notably, Jeremy Stephens was fined $8,000 for missing weight, but he made up for that misstep by netting a $40,000 win bonus with a ferocious flying-knee knockout in Round 3 of his main card tilt against Dennis Bermudez.
