Gregory Rodrigues earned the largest paycheck at UFC Sacramento following his dominant performance in the main event against Anthony Hernandez. The Brazilian fighter’s compensation totaled $340,000, comprised of $170,000 for appearing on the card and an additional $170,000 victory bonus after winning the five-round middleweight bout.
Hernandez, his opponent in the headlining matchup, received $170,000 for his participation in the event. Had he emerged victorious, he would have earned an identical $170,000 bonus, bringing his total potential earnings to $340,000. However, the loss marked his second consecutive defeat in UFC competition.
The co-main event featured Serghei Spivac and Vitor Petrino, with the latter taking home $200,000 after securing a win. Petrino earned $100,000 for showing up and another $100,000 for his victory, while Spivak collected $125,000 for his appearance on the card.
California released the official salary disclosures through the state athletic commission following the event. It’s worth noting that these figures represent only the disclosed compensation and do not account for any additional performance bonuses or incentives that the UFC may have awarded to fighters.
