UFC Fight Night 88 Fighter Salaries: Jeremy Stephens Tops the Payroll

Jeremy Stephens Predicts Jose Aldo Will ‘Take A Bad Loss' If They Fight

Cody Garbrandt solidified his spot in the UFC bantamweight division on Sunday by toppling Thomas Almeida in the UFC Fight Night 88 main event in Las Vegas.

The victory earned Garbrandt $48,000 and the respect that he believes he’s been due for a long time.

He didn’t, however, top the UFC Fight Night 88 payroll. That honor went to Jeremy Stephens, who earned $100,000 for giving former bantamweight champion Renan Barao a rude welcome to the 145-pound division.

The Nevada Athletic Commission released the fighter salaries to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday.

The disclosed payroll filed with athletic commissions does not include sponsorship money, discretionary bonuses, nor other incentives or compensation.
