The official fighter purses for those who competed at UFC 114: "Rampage vs. Evans" this past Saturday night (May 29) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, were released earlier today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (via MMA Fighting (http://www.mmafighting.com/2010/05/30/attendance-gate-and-salary-information-for-ufc-114/)).
As expected, main event participant and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans was the big earner of the night. "Suga" came away with a sweet $435,000 for his unanimous decision win over "Rampage" Jackson, who banked a not-too-shabby $250,000 in defeat.
Former Ultimate Fighter contestant/coach Michael Bisping also had a big night, pulling in $190,000 for his decision win over the venerable Dan Miller ($15,000). Not far behind him was the former PRIDE star Antonio Rogerio Nogueira ($120,000), who squeaked past Jason Brilz ($11,000) for a split decision victory.
