Another night of UFC fights come to a close with the post fight numbers. The fights have been fought, the highlights have been highlighted, the interviews have been captured. Obviously there will be a lot more fallout in the coming days and weeks, but post fight numbers always feel like a bit of a closing point on any event to me. Luke Rockhold was the big winner with a total salary of $130,000 (including a $50,000 KOTN bonus) and Derek Brunson was the big loser with an indefinite suspension due to a broken jaw. The total disclosed payroll was $530,000. All fighters received a minimum 7 day suspension from competition.
Disclaimer: The salary figures reported here are baseline. I have included the post fight bonuses where available, but these numbers do not include any “locker room” bonuses, or front end payouts that fighters may have recieved. They also do not include any taxes, expenses, deductions or other potential alterations that may occur. This is just the raw data released by the Georgia Athletic comission.
