Sean Brady‘s anaconda-like grappling was just too overwhelming for Leon Edwards to deal with in their UFC London clash on Saturday. The UFC returned to the UK after nearly two years for its 16th outing in the nation’s capital but surprisingly, there was not even one KO on the card. There were a fair few finishes though. Four out of the fourteen fights finished early to be exact with all of them coming via submission.

After this loss, the English former champ won’t be fighting for the title anytime soon. But at least he can take consolation in the fact that he made more in Compliance Pay (and indeed overall purse) than his American foe. In total, Dana White and Co. paid $204k in Compliance Pay for the UK card, taking the total lifetime figure to over $32 million.

Compliance Pay, of course, is disbursed by the UFC, but the money is put by Venum, UFC’s outfitting partner. Fighters are required to comply with a bunch of outfitting, media obligations, and other requirements according to the fighter code of conduct. For their trouble, are paid Compliance Pay according to how many fights they have had in the promotion, and whether or not they hold a title or are fighting for a title.

For UFC London, Leon Edwards, who falls into the second-highest non-champion/challenger bracket, made $16k in Compliance pay because of his nineteen fights in the UFC. On the other hand, the more inexperienced Brady made only $6k in it, almost three times less than ‘Rocky’. In the co-main event, knockout artist Carlos Ulberg won a unanimous decision over the Polish powerhouse Jan Blachowicz in their light heavyweight clash with title implications.

The 42-year-old Blachowicz, who has fought twenty-one times in the UFC, made $21k in Compliance Pay, while the relative newcomer Ulberg was paid $6k for it. Now let us look at how much the other stars on the main card made.

UFC London compliance pay for Kevin Holland, Gunnar Nelson, Molly McCann and others

Kevin Holland surprised everyone with his excellent showing against Icelandic welterweight star, Gunnar Nelson. For his troubles, ‘Trailblazer’, who fights more than anyone else in the UFC at the moment, made $21k in Compliance pay, while ‘Gunni’ took home $16k for sticking to the UFC’s fighter code of conduct.

It was a terrible night for Molly McCann, who got submitted by UFC debutante Alexia Thainara in the very first round. ‘Meatball’ tearfully left her gloves in the Octagon after the loss, and took home $11k in Compliance pay for what will probably be her last ever  UFC fight. Her Brazilian opponent, on the other hand, made the minimum $4k in it since this was her first UFC fight.

Chris Duncan scored his second guillotine choke victory in a row, submitting Jordan Vucenic in the second round. The Scotsman took home $4.5k in Compliance Pay for his bonus-winning performance, while his opponent made $4k. For the main card opener, Nathaniel Wood made $11k in Compliance Pay for beating Morgan Charriere (who made $4.5k) in their action-packed featherweight battle.
