The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the payroll figures for World Series of Fighting’s latest event on Saturday night, and newly crowned champs Rousimar Palhares and Marlon Moraes led the way.

Palhares collected $50,000 (including a $25 grand win bonus) for his quick submission win over Steve Carl, who earned $20,000. Palhares also laid claim to the WSOF welterweight title by tapping out Carl with a first round, heel hook.

Moraes, meanwhile, also earned $50,000 for his performance, which saw him defeat Josh Rettinghouse by unanimous decision. The latter was paid $4,000. Moraes became the inaugural WSOF bantamweight champ with the victory.

Yushin Okami was also one of the payroll leaders, as the former UFC middleweight contender made $40K for his submission win over Svetlozar Savov.

Here are the salaries that were disclosed to the NSAC by WSOF for the March 29th event. They do not include any additional money a fighter may have earned from other income streams like performance bonuses or sponsorships.
