Junior Dos Santos might have lost his title on Saturday night at UFC 155, but he did walk away as the night’s top earner.
The former champion took an impressive $400,000 home for his night’s work, putting him alongside the UFC’s highest paid stars as far as basic salary goes.
Next up was the new champ Cain Velasquez who banked $200,000 and gets to take home the heavyweight title.
They were the only two fighters who earned a six-figure sum on the final card of the year, with Yushin Okami next with $84,000 and Jim Miller pocketing $82,000.
