5 Things you didn't know about UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody Garbrandt

#2 He made only around $68,000 last year

Garbrandt is set for much bigger purses in 2017

This may come as a surprise to some fans but Garbrant, who won the UFC Bantamweight Championship at UFC 207 on 30 December last year, only made around $68,000 in the calendar year of 2016 although he is scheduled for a sizeable pay rise in 2017.

As of now, he has earned around $170,000 in his career but with his career trajectory on the rise, he will soon be commanding larger purses and possibly a share of the revenue as he starts to become a headliner.
