UFC on ESPN 41 salaries: Marlon Vera leads the way with $300,000 payday in San Diego

Many commissions no longer release fighter pay to the public, but the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) is one of them.

With UFC on ESPN 41 in the books, MMA Junkie acquired a list of disclosed payouts from CSAC executive director Andy Foster. Five fighters received six-figure paydays, including headliners Marlon Vera and Dominick Cruz.

Other fighters who received six-figure paydays included Gabriel Benitez, Angela Hill, and Gerald Meerschaert.
