Brock Lesnar devastated after loss, in photo sent over Twitter
Lenar ended up losing and was deprived of his heavyweight belt at UFC 121 last Saturdy in California. Nevertheless, the four minutes twelve seconds he lasted before being knocked out by Cain Velasquez still yielded the ex-champ the highest payday of the event: 400 thousand dollars.
It’s worth noting that further income UFC fighters receive may come from shares of pay-per-view revenues and sponsorship deals, which do not figure in the sums released by the athletic commissions.
