- How much did Francisco Prado receive for his UFC debut?
- The total payment was $14 thousand: $10 thousand - fee for the fight, $4 thousand - sponsorship grant from Venum.
- Which expenses were covered by the UFC, and which were covered by the fighter himself?
- The UFC only paid for travel and accommodations for Prado and one coach. The rest of the expenses - a second coach, associated fees - fell on the fighter.
- Why does Prado only have $6,500 left after expenses?

- Venum contributed $4,000 as part of the sponsorship grant, which increased the total payout but did not affect the UFC's expenses.
- What does Prado plan to do after his UFC debut?
- The Brazilian will continue his career in the promotion, but said that he will tighten control over expenses and will actively seek additional sponsors.
