Gallery Rory MacDonald, Jon Fitch fight to majority draw at Bellator 220: Best photos view 13 images

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Fighters from Saturday’s Bellator 220 event received a total payout of $920,750.

The 18-fight card, which took place at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and streamed on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie, saw more than 80 percent of the payout go to the main card fighters.

The biggest earner on the card was Bellator welterweight champion Rory MacDonald (20-5-1 MMA, 2-1-1 BMMA), who netted a flat payout of $200,000 for his majority draw with Jon Fitch (32-7-2 MMA, 1-0-1 BMMA), who left with $140,000.

MacDonald’s contract is nearly triple that of undefeated women’s flyweight champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA), who got $75,000 for her third-round TKO of Veta Arteaga (5-3 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) in the co-headliner.

Other notable purses included former Bellator champ Phil Davis (20-5 MMA, 7-2 BMMA), who walked away with $160,000, and former UFC champ Benson Henderson (27-8 MMA, 4-3 BMMA), who was contracted at a flat $100,000.
