Rousey will make at least $3M for UFC 207 bout vs. Nunes
The UFC is making Ronda Rousey's return worth her while.
Rousey is set to make a cool $3 million for her main-event bout with women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on Friday, according to a report from ESPN's Brett Okamoto, citing the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Nunes will make $100,000 to show and an additional $100,000 should she manage to defend her title. Rousey's deal has no win bonus. Both fighters are also expected to receive a percentage of the PPV profits.
This is Rousey's first fight since being knocked out by Holly Holm last November, a loss that cost her the UFC title. She was 12-0 up to that point with six straight successful defenses under her belt.
Nunes submitted Miesha Tate at UFC 200 this past July to win the women's bantamweight title. UFC 207 marks her second main-event appearance.
