The UFC’s new welterweight champion Robbie Lawler was the top earner at UFC 181 on Saturday night, securing a $220,000 basic salary after his main event victory over Johny Hendricks who banked $150,000.
The co-main event pairing of Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez was next with each taking home $200,000.
Urijah Faber requested to fight on the preliminary card since it would have more viewers on FOX Sports 1 than the PPV card, but he still commanded a sizeable salary on the night of $140,000.
Travis Browne was the only other fighter to trouser a six figure sum, earning $100,000 for his night’s work on the main card.
