Earlier this month, in the co-main event of UFC 227, Henry Cejudo did the unthinkable, and swiped the UFC flyweight title from the waist of seemingly unbeatable champion Demetrious Johnson. While this was a career-changing win for Cejudo, however, it did not come with a career-changing payday.<\/p>\n

Instead, Henry Cejudo’s trainer Eric Albarracin says the fighter took a pay cut for this fight with Johnson.<\/p>\n

\u201dTo tell you the truth, Henry did not get a lot of money for this fight,\u201d\u00a0Albarracin\u00a0told ESPN\u2019s Ariel Helwani<\/a> this week (transcript via MMAMania<\/a>).\u00a0\u201cEverybody told him \u2018Don\u2019t take the fight.\u2019 No one knows this but Henry had a very low … almost took a pay-cut to take this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201dThey were like \u2018Well, you don\u2019t have to take it, but if you don\u2019t they\u2019re gonna give it to ‘Formiga.\u2019 And then Pettis and Benavidez hadn\u2019t fought yet, so it could have been the winner of that. And then TJ, so that\u2019s three fights, it could be a year and a half, two years. So Henry goes \u2018You know what, I\u2019m not in it for the money. I\u2019m in it for the legacy. I\u2019m taking this fight now, I don\u2019t care what the money is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dAnd he took the fight on a … he didn\u2019t really like, he didn\u2019t really negotiate anything. Everybody was saying you shouldn\u2019t be taking it for less than this much. He\u2019s probably fought for the lowest salary for a title for a long time. [He] probably got paid less than Sage Northcutt.\u201d<\/p>\n

For context, Henry Cejudo was paid $55,000 to show and $35,000 to win for his next most recent fight, a decision defeat of Sergio Pettis (via TheSportsDaily.com<\/a>). He was paid an additional $5,000 for wearing Reebok. Sage Northcutt’s last disclosed payday, meanwhile, was $80,000 to show, $80,000 to win, plus an extra $5,000 from Reebok. So unless he got a raise, Cejudo was already paid less than Northcutt.<\/p>\n

Are you surprised to hear Henry Cejudo took a pay cut for his historic UFC 227 win over Demetrious Johnson?<\/p>\n
