A total of nine fighters made north of six figures in disclosed pay Saturday night at UFC 235, and that number increases when post-fight bonuses are factored in. Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and now former welterweight champ Tyron Woodley led the pack with $500,000 disclosed flat salaries for their fights in the main and co-main event, respectively. Neither had win bonuses tied to their purses. Jones (24-1 MMA, 18-1 UFC) outworked challenger Anthony Smith (31-14 MMA, 7-4 UFC) for a unanimous decision to retain his belt. But Woodley (19-4-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) was dominated for five rounds by challenger Kamaru Usman (15-1 MMA, 10-0 UFC) and surrendered his title. Smith and Usman each made a flat $350,000 for their fights with no win bonuses attached
