‘Jacare’ Souza Rakes Biggest Payday at Strikeforce ‘Tate vs. Rousey’




Former middleweight champion Ronaldo Souza walked away from Strikeforce “Tate vs. Rousey” with an event-high $92,000, as “Jacare” took home a $22,000 win bonus following his submission victory over injury replacement Bristol Marunde ($10,000) on Saturday night.

Sherdog.com confirmed the event’s payout information with Ohio Athletic Commission Executive Director Bernie Profato on Tuesday. Headlined by a women’s 135-pound championship showdown between Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey, the event took place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. Rousey earned $32,000 for her first-round submission of Tate ($19,000), winning the title with her signature armbar as a hard-fought first round neared its conclusion.
