The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the final salaries for all fighters who took part in last Saturday’s Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine fight card at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Leading the way with a cool $150,000 was veteran fighter Robbie Lawler who TKO’d Adlan Amagov with a flying knee. The closest person to Lawler was former light heavyweight champion “King Mo” Lawal who earned $95,000 for his 2nd round TKO stoppage of formlerly undefeated Lorenz Larkin. The win should put Lawal very close to a title shot, which was vacated by Dan Henderson this past year.
