Jones earned a dominant five-round verdict over Anthony Smith in the evening’s main event to retain his light heavyweight crown. Smith, meanwhile, pocketed $350,000 in defeat.

Woodley’s night didn’t go as well, as he lost the welterweight belt to Kamaru Usman via lopsided decision. In addition to some championship hardware, Usman received $350,000 for his work. Octagon newcomer Ben Askren was the card’s other top earner, banking $350,000 for a controversial submission triumph against Robbie Lawler ($200,000) in a featured welterweight affair.
