Russian MMA fighter Alexander Shlemenko said that American Curtis Millender received more than $20,000 for the fight with him.
In the main fight of the SFC 10 tournament in Omsk, Shlemenko defeated Millender by technical knockout in the first round. Shlemenko is the founder of the promotion; his participation dominated three tournaments held in Omsk in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
— Did you win anything from this tournament?
– Well, not as much as in other tournaments. I pay my own costs, me and my partners.
—Who received the biggest commission in your league?
— Curtis Millender, but I won’t say the amount.
— Is this more than a basic UFC contract?
— If we talk about the base of 10+10 thousand dollars (the amount for the exit and victory – approximately “”), then it is significantly more. Every fighter who fights me gets more. You won’t find a cheaper fighter. Everyone says that they are ready to fight for free, but when it comes to this, they charge too much,” Chlemenko told reporters.
