The UFC 199 basic salary’s have been revealed, and show that by a wide margin, veteran star Dan Henderson was the biggest earner on the night, banking a whopping $800,000.
That’s one of the highest basic salaries ever paid out to a fighter by the UFC, equalling the likes of Anderson Silva, and he certainly earned it on the night with a memorable KO victory.
Next up was bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, who started to make up for lost time with a healthy $350,000 payday for his successful title defense in the co-main event.
Next up were the event’s two headliners, Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold, who both trousered $250,000 for their efforts in the Octagon on Saturday night.
The six-figure salaries continued with Urijah Faber taking home $160,000, Max Holloway on $150,000 and Dustin Poirier cashing in $110,000.
Check out the entire list of UFC 199 salaries below, and keep in mind that this is just their basic payout and doesn’t include other sources of income, such as sponsorships, bonus money and any potential split of the PPV revenue.
