The UFC 316 pay-outs have emerged as three stars cracked the million-dollar mark.

UFC 316 is in the books as Merab Dvalishvili submitted Sean O'Malley to defend his UFC bantamweight title and made it 2-0 over his rival in the process, having beat him at UFC 306 last year.

In the co-main event, Kayla Harrison dethroned Julianna Pena of the UFC women's bantamweight title following her second-round submission.

Elsewhere, Joe Pyfer outpointed Kelvin Gastelum, Mario Bautista beat ex-Bellator champion Patchy Mix, who was making his UFC debut, and Kevin Holland stopped Vicente Luque to open the main-card.

The UFC 316 purses have since been revealed, with UFC bantamweight king Dvalishvili leading the way.

According to BET MGM, Dvalishvili earned $2,390,000 - a potentially career-high purse - while O'Malley walked away from Newark, New Jersey, with a cool $1,980,000.

The Georgian fighter also bagged a $50,000 'Performance of the Night' bonus for his north-south choke.

Pena also pocketed a seven-figure purse, bagging a reported $1,390,000, which also appears to be a career-high purse.

Harrison, who was competing in her first UFC championship bout, received $882,000 and, like Dvalishvili, secured an extra $50,000 after landing a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for her kimura finish.
