Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Alistair Overeem gets paid a lot of money when he takes a shot in the face inside of the Octagon.<\/p>\n

This according to onlinegambling.ca<\/a>, who have put together a very interesting report which includes detailing how fighter salaries compare to shots absorbed inside of the cage.<\/p>\n

As seen below, the former Strikeforce<\/a> and Dream Heavyweight Champion, Alistair Overeem, topped the list for “Top 10 Earners Per Head Strike Taken”.<\/p>\n

TOP TEN EARNERS PER HEAD STRIKE TAKEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Alistair Overeem – $36,542<\/li>\n
  2. Conor McGregor – $35,210<\/li>\n
  3. Tyron Woodley – $25,627<\/li>\n
  4. Francis Ngannou – $19,953<\/li>\n
  5. Luke Rockhold – $17,871<\/li>\n
  6. Daniel Cormier – $15,911<\/li>\n
  7. Demetrious Johnson – $14,209<\/li>\n
  8. Marlon Moraes – $13,467<\/li>\n
  9. Stipe Miocic – $12,442<\/li>\n
  10. Ronaldo Souza – $11,768<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making the list means these aforementioned fighters are not only good at avoiding head shots, but they also make a lot of money.<\/p>\n

    That is the case for Alistair Overeem. The former K1 champion does a good job of eluding strikes and has been getting paid handsomely ever since signing a monster deal with Strikeforce in 2007.<\/p>\n

    Former two division champion Conor McGregor wound up in second spot on the top ten list.<\/p>\n

    The Irishman is the UFC’s highest paid athlete, so it comes as no surprise that he ranks so high on the chart.<\/p>\n

    Back to ‘The Reem’, Alistair is currently riding a two-fight win streak, his latest being a first round TKO victory over Alexey Oleynik in April.<\/p>\n
