Who's next for Kamaru Usman after beating Joaquin Buckley?
MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn plays matchmaker and looks ahead to what makes sense for Kamaru Usman.
Rose Namajunas was the biggest winner at UFC on ESPN 69 – at least from a financial standpoint.
Namajunas, a former strawweight champion, led all fighters on the card in disclosed pay as she earned $500,000 for her unanimous decision win over Miranda Maverick in the UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event. On Monday, MMA Junkie obtained the list of disclosed fighter salaries from Matt Woodruff, executive director of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, which regulated this past Saturday's event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Kamaru Usman earned the second most behind Namajunas as the former welterweight champion earned $300,000 for his unanimous decision win against Joaquin Buckley in the night's main event.
In total, half the card (13 of 26 fighters) took home six-figure payouts. You can check out the full list below. It's important to note that the numbers reflect payouts disclosed to the Georgia commission and do not include any discretionary bonuses that might've been paid by the UFC.
