Cris Cyborg cashed in with a big payday for her first round drubbing of Yana Kunitskaya in the UFC 222 main event

Cris Cyborg earned more than $2,400 per second to defeat Yana Kunitskaya in the main event at UFC 222 this past Saturday night.

Cyborg took home $500,000 for her win over Kunitskaya after accepting the bout on short notice after the UFC needed a new main event for the card following an injury to featherweight champion Max Holloway.

It took Cyborg less than four minutes to dispatch Kunitskaya in the opening round as she earns the same payday as she did for her five round battle against Holly Holm last December at UFC 219.

For her part, Kunitskaya took home $100,000 in defeat.

In the co-main event, Brian Ortega cashed in with a $250,000 payday for his win over Frankie Edgar that secured his shot at the featherweight title later this year. Ortega earned $200,000 in fight salary after inking a new multi-fight contract with the UFC just before this event while also taking home an extra $50,000 for a ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus.

Meanwhile, Edgar earned a flat $195,000 for his part in the featherweight title eliminator.

One other notable salary comes on the preliminary card as newcomer Mackenzie Dern earned $50,000 for her UFC debut where she earned a split decision over Ashley Yoder. Dern has been viewed as one of the top prospects in the women’s strawweight division and she was definitely paid well for her first fight inside the Octagon.
