Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski took home the largest payday from the World Series of Fighting’s inaugural event, banking $60,000 for defeating Devin Cole in the evening’s headliner.

Cole earned $10,000 in defeat, falling by first-round technical knockout at the Nov. 3 event, which took place at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The WSOF main card aired on NBC Sports Network and also saw former UFC welterweight talent Anthony Johnson knock out Cage Warriors heavyweight titlist D.J. Linderman in the first round of their 205-pound co-main event. “Rumble” took home $55,000 for his win, while Linderman pocketed $10,000.
