Bellator 293 salaries: Cat Zingano, Daniel James lead the pack with six-figure disclosed paydays

California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) executive director Andy Foster released a full list of fighter payouts Friday to MMA Junkie. The amounts reflect the disclosed payouts only and do not include any off-contract bonuses, sponsor payments, or discretionary bonuses.
