On Saturday night, Bellator MMA returned to our screens with stacked Bellator 228 card.<\/p>\n

The salaries for this action-packed card, which was highlighted by four Featherweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal bouts and a middleweight rematch between Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi, have now been revealed.<\/p>\n

The top earned for this card was Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, who currently holds the Bellator featherweight and lightweight titles. Freire defended his title against Juan Archuleta on the Bellator 228 card. This bout also served as the final quarterfinal bout in the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix. The champ earned $200,000 for his efforts.<\/p>\n

The next biggest earners on the card were Gegard Mousasi and Lyoto Machida, who pocketed $150,000 apiece for their three-round battle. Mousasi won this fight by decision but received no win bonus.<\/p>\n

Former Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell also pocketed a nice payday, taking home $120,000 for his unanimous decision defeat of Henry Corrales in another Grand Prix bout.<\/p>\n
