Light heavyweight grand prix semifinal winners Vadim
Nemkov and Corey
Anderson topped the payroll for
Bellator 268.
The Arizona Department of Gaming recently released salaries from
the event, which took place at the Footprint Center in Phoeniz,
Ariz., on Oct. 16.
Nemkov, the promotion’s reigning 205-pound champion, earned
$250,000 for his fourth-round submission of Julius
Anglickas ($150,000) in the evening’s main event. Anderson,
meanwhile, pocketed $200,000 for a first-round TKO of ex-champ
Ryan
Bader ($150,000) in the co-headliner. Nemkov and Anderson will
square off with light heavyweight gold on the line at an as yet to
be determined event next year.
The only other six-figure earner on the card was former UFC
lightweight king Benson
Henderson, who garnered $150,000 for a decision loss to
Brent
Primus ($50,000) in a featured 155-pound contest.
