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.
