If it was money that Renato Moicano wanted, money he got. Last Sunday (19), the California State Athletic Commission released the complete list of salaries received by athletes who entered action in UFC 311, held last Saturday (18), in the city of Inglewood.

Living up to his nickname 'Money Moicano', the Brazilian lightweight (up to 70,3 kg), who was promoted to the belt dispute on the eve of the event, replacing the injured Arman Tsarukyan, but it's over finished by Islam Makhachev, received a salary of US$ 250 thousand (approximately R$ 1,51 million), even higher than that of the champion himself, who received a purse of US$ 200 thousand (approximately R$ 1,21 million).

The highest salary of UFC 311 belongs to Georgian Merab Dvalishvili. The bantamweight champion, who defended the belt for the first time against the then undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov, earned an incredible US$500 (approximately R$3,03 million) at the event.

It is important to highlight that the amount disclosed by the California State Athletic Commission only takes into account salaries and possible bonuses for victories, leaving out amounts related to pay-per-view sales, sponsorship and any other agreement between fighters and the organization outside of the contract.
