CM Punk's unbelievable earnings for a 2-minute 14-second UFC loss; Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey's huge earnings also emerge

The earnings for CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Ronda Rousey from their time in the UFC have been revealed.

CM Punk is currently in the midst of a lot of rumors as fans wait to see if he will join WWE after leaving AEW with controversy following his wake. But long before he returned to wrestling, Punk had an unfortunate time trying out his hand in the UFC. In his first fight, he lost within 2 minutes and 14 seconds. In his second fight, he lost as well, but it was declared a No Contest after his opponent failed the post-fight USADA test.

UFC is currently in a class action antitrust lawsuit, and as a result, some of their documents were unsealed, which revealed the payments made to fighters. Bloody Elbow reported on this, which let fans know how much fighters had earned.

CM Punk's payment for his debut UFC fight and loss came out, which was a very surprising $1,042,736. Given debuting UFC fighters usually have a starter contract and don't always earn much, it's clear his existing fame played a big part in what he was paid.
