Bellator 170 fighter payouts for those athletes competing at the "Ortiz vs. Sonnen" mixed martial arts (MMA) event last weekend (Sat., Jan. 21, 2017) from inside The Forum in Inglewood, were released earlier today by California State Athletic Commission (CSAC).
The total disclosed payroll was $766,125.
The top earner of the night was Tito Otiz, who hauled in a massive $300,000 payday after submitting Chael Sonnen in the very first round (see it again here). For his efforts, Chael picked $50,000 in defeat. The only fighters who came near to that were the ones listed right here (recap).
That's not all.
