UFC 235 Salaries: Jon Jones ($500K), Tyron Woodley ($500K) Lead Nine Six-Figure Earners

Jon Jones and Tyron Woodley earned the top disclosed salaries at UFC 235, taking home $500,000 apiece for their bouts on Saturday night.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released a list of salaries from the event, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. All told, nine fighters from the card garnered six-figure paydays.

Jones earned a dominant five-round verdict over Anthony Smith in the evening’s main event to retain his light heavyweight crown. Smith, meanwhile, pocketed $350,000 in defeat.

Woodley’s night didn’t go as well, as he lost the welterweight belt to Kamaru Usman via lopsided decision.
