BKFC 28 fighter salaries: Former UFC title challenger John Dodson leads disclosed payouts

BKFC 28 payouts have been released by the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD).

Thursday, MMA Junkie received a list of disclosed salaries for the bareknuckle boxing event which took place Aug. 28 at Rio Rancho Events Center in Albuquerque, N.M.

All payouts consisted of flat purses – meaning no win bonuses.

Former UFC title challenger John Dodson made his BKFC debut in the co-main event, pocketing the highest disclosed payout of $75,000 for his first-round knockout win over fellow ex-UFC fighter Ryan Benoit, who made $20,000.

The event was headlined by a 125-pound title fight, which saw Christine Ferea make quick work of Taylor Starling. Ferea earned $22,500, while Starling took home $20,000.
