The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has released the reported fighter payouts for this past Saturday's UFC 184: Rousey vs. Zingano pay-per-view event. Rousey, who made quick work of number one contender Cat Zingano, submitting the previously undefeated prospect in just 14 seconds, earned $130,000 to Zingano's $100,000, according to figures released by the CSAC. Interestingly enough, UFC Welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger topped the list, pulling down a $136,000 payday for his submission victory over former title contender Josh Koscheck.
