'Thug' Rose Namajunas came out the best paid hunter at UFC Atlanta.
Namajunas was one of the three former champions who participated in UFC Atlanta on Saturday.
In the main event of the evening, the Grote Kamaru Usman all time returned to the win-column with a dominant decision-making effort about top candidate Joaquin Buckley.
In the Co-Main event, Namajunas also saw her hand rise by a unanimous decision and teammate Miranda Maverick defeated in a hard-fought fight.
Cody Garbrandt was not lucky in Atlanta, because the former Bantam weight champion lost to Raoni Barcelos on the score cards.
26 hunters made the Octagon on Saturday and left with more than $ 3 million in combined wallets.

Who has earned a performance bonus at UFC Atlanta?
The $ 50K 'Fight of the Night' bonus went to Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley after they went to the Welterweight main event.
The UFC gave two performance bonuses to hunters on the Undercard, where Jose Ochoa made an extra $ 50K for his first UFC victory-a thorough second round knockout from Cody Durden.
Once a pipe fitter/welder, Malcolm Wellmaker took on his job after he received a bonus for switching off Cameron Saaiman in April.
