Jim Miller Leads UFC Vegas 3 Salaries With $208,000 Payday

Jim Miller walked away UFC Vegas 3 with the highest salary on the night.

Miller opened the main card in a catchweight 160-pound fight with Roosevelt Roberts and got the job done swiftly with a first-round submission victory last night.

As a result, the lightweight veteran earned $208,000 with his Performance of the Night bonus taking his total earnings up to $258,000.

Main event winner Curtis Blaydes was the second-highest earner with $180,000 for his win over Alexander Volkov who earned $80,000.

Josh Emmett earned $152,000 after defeating Shane Burgos in their back-and-forth war in the co-main event. The fight was unsurprisingly given Fight of the Night honors so Emmett earned another $50,000 to take his total earnings up to $202,000.
