Kentucky has released UFC pay amounts for the promotion’s Louisville event and Reyes walked away from the YUM! center with a pretty big bag.

How much UFC fighters are making is becoming more and more opaque as time goes on, but there’s still a few athletic commissions sharing combat sports payouts. Kentucky is one of them, which means we have accurate information on how much UFC fighters made at UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Imavov in Louisville, Kentucky.

Topping the list of highest paid fighters is one-time light heavyweight challenger Dominick Reyes, who made $ 125,000 to show and $ 125,000 to win for his first round knockout of Dustin Jacoby (who pocketed his $ 100,000 show money).

While Reyes was overlooked when it came to official performance bonuses, the scrappy “Devastator” spoke to Dana White after the event and says he got a bonus too. So add whatever that was to his $ 250,000 … not too shabby!

Other six-figure hitters include Jared Cannonier, who made $ 165,000 in show money for his controversial TKO loss to Nassourdine Imavov in the main event. Imavov made $ 63,000 to show and $ 63,000 to win, adding up to $ 126,000. Punahele Soriano ($ 50,000 show, $ 50,000 win) and Montana De La Rosa ($ 60,000 show, $ 50,000 win) also cleared the $ 100,000 mark.
