The payslips from last weekend's UFC 307 event have leaked online - and there are some notable numbers involved.

The event took place from Salt Lake City, Utah, with Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr headlining the main card.

Pereira secured a TKO victory over his opponent in round four, thus retaining the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.

Both fighters received a $50,000 after they were adjudged to have had the Fight of the Night.

Elsewhere, Julianna Pena - who famously defeated Amanda Nunes in 2021 - defeated Raquel Pennington via split decision after five rounds to win the Women's Bantamweight Championship.

The Pereira fight was also notable for the Brazilian champion's striking power, with Joe Rogan stating after the fight: [Referee] Marc Goddard came up to me and he said, 'I've been doing this for 20 years, the way he hits people, the sound is like nothing I've ever heard before. It's ungodly'."

Now, the UFC 307 payslips have been revealed.

According to BetMGM, Pereira secured comfortably the biggest payout of the night, earning $2.74 million from his fight against Rountree Jr.

His opponent, meanwhile, earned $1.38 million in comparison, while the now former women's bantamweight champion Pennington earned a marginally higher amount in $1.39 million.

Pena earned $1.03 million - the Illnois-billed fighter being the fourth and final competitor to receive over seven figures.

In comparison, Jose Aldo earned $421,000 for his defeat to Mario Bautista ($215,000), while UFC veteran Kevin Holland received $371,000.

The fighter with the lowest base pay from the night was Cesar Almeida, who earned $64,500 for defeating Ihor Potieria ($65,000) on the preliminary card.

The top 10 reported salaries from UFC 307 are as follows:

1) Alex Pereira ($2,740,000)
