Women's strawweight champion Weili Zhang was the top earner at UFC 292 earlier this month.

Zhang earned the first defense of her second reign as 115-pound champion when she dominated Amanda Lemos over five rounds in the UFC 292 co-headliner in Boston.

The main event, meanwhile, saw Sean O'Malley become the new bantamweight champion following a second-round TKO win over Aljamain Sterling.

But despite being the marquee, neither O'Malley nor Sterling walked away as the top earner. Instead, it was Zhang who edged the duo with a $520,000 purse with no win bonus. O'Malley and Sterling made a flat $500,000 each with no win bonus.

However, Zhang and O'Malley did earn an extra $50,000 in performance bonuses on the night. Lemos, meanwhile, made $250,000 while Marlon Vera earned $310,000 which includes a $155,000 win bonus.

Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman may have been the featured prelim but he was the fourth-highest earner on the night as he made $426,000 despite suffering defeat to Brad Tavares who banked $200,000 which includes a $100,000 win bonus.

It should be noted that these are simply the disclosed purses and do not include sponsorships, post-fight bonuses or pay-per-view points.
