Robbie Lawler got starched at UFC 201 last Saturday night (July 30, 2016) in Atlanta, Georgia.
But "Ruthless" has 500,000 reasons to feel better about himself, thanks to the disclosed salaries and payouts from Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission. The man who put him out to pasture, Tyron Woodley, took home $340,000 for his title-winning performance.
That's not all.
