Ronda Rousey made three million dollars for 48 seconds of work. Unfortunately for her, it wasn’t exactly the 48 seconds of work she was hoping for. Rousey made the lion’s share of the UFC 207 salary, but there was still some money to go around for other fighters as well. Seven fighters overall made more than 100 grand, and only one fighter made less than 20 grand.
