Following UFC 200 on Saturday night, the MMA promotion which sold for 4 billion to an American talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME-IMG) along with other investors on Monday has revealed the UFC 200 salaries of all the fighters who took part in the historic event.

As many of you may have already expected, WWE superstar and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar racked in the highest salary this weekend. In fact, Lesnar scored a record-breaking $2.5 million purse for his co-headlining victory over top 10 heavyweight Mark Hunt. A figure more than double than the previous record for a UFC purse, which was held by Irish sensation Conor McGregor.

Hunt ended up earning $700,000, the second highest salary of the night. Aside from Lesnar and Hunt, 11 additional fighters hit the six-figure mark at UFC 200.
