Here are the fighter salaries that were reported by the UFC to the Nevada State Athletic Commission for UFC 81: Breaking Point (http://www.mmafighting.com/articles/rousseau/2008/ufc_81_review.html) on Feb. 2.
Each winner received a win bonus (usually the equivalent of their guaranteed pay). For example, Frank Mir would have only earned $40,000 (instead of $80,000) if he had lost to Brock Lesnar. The lone exception was Lesnar, who would have earned an additional $200,000 if he had won.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Tim Sylvia were each awarded an additional $60,000 for participating in the Fight of the Night. Chris Lytle and Mir received $60,000 for Best Knockout of the Night and Submission of the Night, respectively.
