UFC 246 featured the promotion’s highest-paid fighter competing on the same card as the promotion’s lowest-paid fighter, which is so very “Sin City,” where you can find homeless people sleeping in the parking garage of Steve Wynn’s Las Vegas hotel.

“Notorious” banked a flat $3 million for less than a minute of work against fellow welterweight, Donald Cerrone. “Cowboy” made $200,000 for his technical knockout loss, which is the same amount Holly Holm pulled for her hug-and-slug opposite Raquel Pennington.

Elsewhere on the card, “Contender Series” standout Ode Osbourne banked a measly $10,000 for his Octagon debut. Askar Askarov and Aleksa Camur joined “Oddity” in the $10k “show” club, while Sabina Mazo drew $12,000 to appear alongside J.J. Aldrich.
