Lance Palmer lost his World Series of Fighting title in the main event of WSOF 26, but the featherweight standout still took home one of the show’s biggest paychecks.
Co-main event winner Ozzy Dugulubgov also pocketed a $28,000 check, half of which came from a $14,000 win bonus for his decision victory against Alaskan lightweight Nic Herron-Webb ($3,000).
Other high earners at the event included former bantamweight contenders Sheymon da Silva Moraes ($20,000) and Josh Hill ($14,000), as well as light heavyweight Jake Heun ($16,000).
