The Reebok payouts, bonuses and attendance for UFC London have trickled out.
The event’s Athlete Outfitting pay is the lowest so far in 2018. It’s so low, that Fabricio Werdum topped the list with just $15,000. Nine fighters tied for second on the list with just $5,000.
In the main event of UFC London, former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov knocked out former UFC heavyweight champion Werdum. The co-main event saw Jan Blachowicz get his revenge on Jimi Manuwa with a unanimous decision victory. The bout was far more action-packed than their first encounter.
UFC London aired live on UFC Fight Pass. It was the first full event of 2018 to air on the UFC’s network. The event was held inside the O2 Arena and drew 16,274 fans for a $2,028,000 gate.
