The UFC Fight Night 120 salaries have now been posted and show that the evening’s top earner was veteran heavyweight star Andrei Arlovski who banked $250,000 for his main card victory, though several other fighters claimed a six-figure cheque.
Potentially in the last fight of his career, Matt Brown took home $150,000, while despite only featuring on the prelims, former WSOF champ Marlon Moraes was next with a $150,000 payday.
Following closely behind was defeated main event fighter Anthony Pettis, just ahead of the man who beat him on the night, Dustin Poirier who trousered $130,000.
Sage Northcutt also racked up $120,000 in the prelims, more than long-time UFC fighter Clay Guida whose victory earned him $114,000, while Raphael Assuncao pocketed $113,200.
