The fighter salaries have been released for Saturday night’s UFC On FOX 12 event in San Jose, and show that victorious headliner Robbie Lawler was the evening’s best paid star with a $210,000 basic salary.
Next up was veteran campaigner Antonio Rogerio Nogueira who banked $114,000 despite being TKO’d in just 44 seconds by Anthony Johnson who claimed a $106,000 payday.
Former Strikeforce fighters Josh Thomson and Jorge Masvidal each took home $84,000, but spare a thought for main eventer Matt Brown who, despite being a long-time UFC fighter on an impressive running streak only trousered $46,000.
