The grand prize Tate received for winning the show could easily be much higher than the pay she had received for most of her UFC fights. That is, if one keeps the bonuses aside.

According to ‘The Sports Daily‘, the fighter was paid around $500,000 to show up for her bout against Amanda Nunes. Apart from that, she had also received a sponsorship from Reebok and this further elevated the total amount that she made.
