TUF 22 Finale salaries: Edgar ($360k) is top earner, Mendes pockets $82k

Another TUF season and finale is in the books, and now we have the disclosed salaries and bonuses for all participants listed below. It should be noted that Tony Ferguson ended up fattening his wallet with two $50,000 bonuses due to his performance in a sensational fight with opponent Edson Barboza.

Frankie Edgar was clearly the biggest earner here, netting $360,000 after his knockout win over Chad Mendes. Also somewhat surprising is prelim headliner Gabriel Gonzaga’s $76,000 for his win over Konstantin Erokhin.

As always, please remember these salaries may not reflect the full amounts that fighters make and do not include any discretionary bonuses, taxes, other deductions, etc. Don’t worry, everyone gets Reebok money. These are only the numbers reported to the Nevada Athletic Commissions.
