Diego Sanchez was the most controversial winner at UFC Fight Night Albuquerque. He was also the event’s top earner.
According to salary information released to Sherdog.com by the New Mexico State Athletic Commission, Sanchez took home $140,000 for his contentious split verdict over Ross Pearson ($30,000) in the evening’s lightweight co-headliner. However, UFC President Dana White recently revealed that Pearson will receive his $30,000 win bonus despite the defeat.
