Brock Lesnar defeated Mark Hunt at UFC 200 this past weekend. The win came after a 5 year layoff from the octagon, having previously competed back in 2011. Brock dominated the fight and came up with the impressive victory against the hard-hitting Hunt. The win really boosted Brock Lesnar’s brand (as well as the WWE’s). Brock also left the event with an insane amount of money.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Lole, Brock walked away with $2.5 million dollars for the victory:
Brock Lesnar’s purse tonight is $2.5 million

This is much more money then the reported $1 million dollars that Conor McGregor received for UFC 196.
Brock Lesnar not only helped his own brand and the WWE’s but he also walked away with a huge amount of money.
Not a bad payday for 15 minutes of work eh?
