Bellator 268 featured two light heavyweight grand prix matchups, and the fighters involved were four of the five highest-paid athletes on the card. Light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov and fellow grand prix finalist Corey Anderson led all paydays, as they pocketed six figures as a result of their wins Oct. 16 at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Grand prix participants Julius Anglickas and Ryan Bader , who lost in the semfinals, and former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson , also took home six figures.
