Salary Report: Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine | MMA NEWS


It’s over, the Strikeforce promotion was bought, plundered and forced to shut down after a ZUFFA owned company purchased the fight promotion nearly two-years ago.

The promotions last stand was put up on Showtime last Saturday and the guys who partook in the evenings festivities took home a pretty decent salary.

Josh Barnett topped the evenings earners with a nice round quarter-million dollars and fellow heavyweight Daniel Cormier took home the second highest figure with $120k.

The full list of disclosed fighter salaries is as follows:

Tarec Saffiedine: $39,000 (includes $19,500 win bonus)
def. Nate Marquardt: $40,000

Daniel Cormier: $120,000 (includes $60,000 win bonus)
def. Dion Staring: $8,000

Josh Barnett: $250,000 (no win bonus)
def. Nandor Guelmino: $12,000

  1. Jujitsu Player says:

    Josh Barnett = $250k
    Daniel Cormier = $120k (inc $60 win bonus)…..sounds resonable…..yeah good one….

    • Common sense fan says:

      Barnett has been at this for ages, his name carries a lot more clout world wide. Cormier is hot and up and coming but still relatively new..

  2. Doesntmatter says:
