Paddy Pimblett earned four times less than Molly McCann for UFC London victory

Paddy Pimblett earned four times less than Molly McCann for their UFC London victories back in April.

The UFC pair both compete alongside each other at the Next Generation MMA in hometown Liverpool, and both fought on the UFC's recent return to domestic soil. Pimblett defeated Kazula Vargas with a first round submission to make a statement in just his second fight with the promotion, while McCann continued her progress with a sensational spinning backfist KO of Luana Carolina.

Pimblett earned a guaranteed purse of just $12,000 for his fight combined with another $12,000 winning bonus despite commanding huge interest in London. McCann has revealed she was paid significantly more having taken part in her eighth fight in the UFC under a third contract. “It’s mad, people wouldn’t believe it, but I got paid four times what he did for my last fight, because I’m on a third contract – it was my eighth fight," McCann explained on the Overlap with Gary Neville.
