AMANDA NUNES will earn a bumper payday tonight – as long as she retains her featherweight title at UFC 250 against Felicia Spencer.
The 32-year-old Brazilian will earn $350,000 dollars just for stepping in the Octagon for the main event at the APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
She will get another $100,000 as long as she retains her belt, coming into the bout as heavy favourite against her Canadian rival.
Her 29-year-old opponent will bag $125,000 plus and additional $75,000 if she somehow causes an upset against the odds.
Meanwhile on the card, Cody Garbrandt will make $130,000 as he faces off against Rafael Assuncao, who will get $79,000.
Aljamain Sterling makes $76,000 for his appearance at UFC 250, alongside Cory Sandhagen, who makes $80,000.
Nunes – who also has the bantamweight title – defends the featherweight strap for the first time in the Vegas pay-per-view.
The Lioness picked up the belt after a stunning first-round knockout of former 145lbs champion Cris Cyborg.
ESPN reporter Brett Okamoto said: “Some disclosed fight purses from tonight: Nunes 350k to show, 100k to win.
