UFC Vegas 2 purses: Cynthia Calvillo tops paltry $782,000 payroll

UFC Vegas 2 was a card filled with unranked fighters and short notice replacements, so it’s perhaps no surprise that the purses are incredibly low even for a Fight Night event.

Not a single fighter had a base purse higher than $55,000, and as such only Cynthia Calvillo and Andre Fili cleared six figures by winning their respective bouts, pre-bonus announcements. Calvillo topped the payroll at $122,750 thanks to Jessica Eye forfeiting 25% of her purse. Karl Roberson gave up 30% of his purse to Marvin Vettori, who did get an extra $50,000 for Performance of the Night to get him to $148,000.
