UFC 84 Payouts

BJ Penn got $250,000 in his victory over Sean Sherk, Tito Ortiz made $210,000 in his loss to Lyotpo Machida and Wanderlei Silva made a base of $150,000.

None of these numbers are a surprise.

The cool things that UFC has been re-instituting as of late is bonus pay. There are bonuses for fight of the night, submission of the night and knockout of the night. Each carries a worth of an additional $75,000 to the fighters purse.

Goran Reljic defeated Wilson Gouveia in what was deemed the fight of the night. Goran Reljic took home $81,000 and Wilson Gouveia took home $93,000.

Not a bad payday for fighters who would have received $6,000 and $18,000 respectively.

Michael Jackson at UFC 84

Wow. Apparently Michael Jackson was at UFC 84 this past Saturday night. Word is that this is real from some pretty reliable sources.

I never would have seen this one coming. It leads me topnder a couple questions.

Word is he came in a wheelchair, what happened to Michael's mobility?

Does this hurt the public image of MMA?

Is that Jesse Jackson in front of him?

UFC on PS3 and XBOX 360

With a new trailer rumored to debut at UFC 84, I figure it's about the time where this game should blow up and people will really start talking about it.

It is the driving factor that has convinced me to purchase a PS3 in the near future.
