WSOF 26 Salaries: Ex-Champ Lance Palmer, Ozzy Dugulubgov Take Largest Purses
Lance Palmer lost his World Series of Fighting title in the main event of WSOF 26, but the featherweight standout still took home one of the show’s biggest paychecks.
According to figures released Tuesday by the Nevada Athletic Commission, Palmer collected $28,000 in “show” money for his Dec. 18 duel with Alexandre Almeida at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Almeida, who took the WSOF strap after five hard-fought rounds, earned less than half of Palmer’s pay with a disclosed purse of $12,000.

commissions do not include any performance-based or discretionary
bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion.
Additionally, the reported figures do not reflect any deductions
made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not
