Summary

  • $360,000 went to Reinier de Ridder in disclosed show-and-win pay after his Round 1 stoppage of Roman Dolidze, topping all fighters at UFC Fight Night 285 in Sacramento.
  • California's athletic commission released the card's salary list after Saturday's event, with de Ridder also receiving a separate $25,000 finishing bonus not included in the disclosed payout table.
  • $340,000 went to main-event winner Gregory Rodrigues for beating Anthony Hernandez, while co-main event winner Vitor Petrino earned $200,000 for his decision over Serghei Spivac.
  • The disclosed figures exclude performance and discretionary bonuses as well as letters of agreement, meaning actual fighter compensation on the card could be higher.
