The UFC 247 salaries have been released, and Jon Jones took home an impressive $540k for his controversial win over Dominick Reyes.
The UFC light heavyweight champion beat Reyes on points to successfully defend his title for the third time.
But many criticised the officiating on the night, believing the challenger did enough to take home UFC gold.
Regardless of the result, Jones and Reyes can both be considered winners when it comes to their paychecks.

Reyes meanwhile also cashed in a large sum, banking $380,000, while Derrick Lewis and Valentina Shevchenko earned $305,000 and $270,000 for their respective wins.
