We’ve already passed along the headliners’ payouts from UFC 106, but now the complete salary list has been released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, so we figured hey, why not share them with you people? The UFC paid out $1,301,000 in disclosed salaries and bonuses, with 57% of that total going to Forrest Griffin, Tito Ortiz, and Josh Koscheck. Check out the pay scale below, and keep in mind that the figures don’t include income from sponsorships, undisclosed "locker-room bonuses," and cuts of the pay-per-view, or deductions for taxes, insurance, licensing fees, and tanning salon memberships.
– Forrest Griffin: $250,000 (includes $150,000 win bonus)
– Tito Ortiz: $250,000
– Josh Koscheck: $246,000 (includes $53,000 win bonus, $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus, $70,000 Submission of the Night bonus)
– Antonio Rogerio Nogueira: $170,000 (includes $30,000 win bonus, $70,000 Knockout of the Night bonus)
– Anthony Johnson: $87,000 (includes $70,000 Fight of the Night bonus)
– Kendall Grove: $44,000 (includes $22,000 win bonus)
– Amir Sadollah: $30,000 (includes $15,000 win bonus)
– Marcus Davis: $27,000
– Phil Baroni: $25,000
– Brock Larson: $25,000
– Ben Saunders: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
– George Sotiropoulos: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
– Caol Uno: $20,000
– Luiz Cane: $19,000
– Paulo Thiago: $16,000 (includes $8,000 win bonus)
– Jake Rosholt: $15,000
– Brian Foster: $12,000 (includes $6,000 win bonus)
– Fabricio Camoes: $10,000
– Jason Dent: $8,000
– Jacob Volkmann: $6,000
Underpaid: Ben Saunders. Once again, his knees from the Thai-clinch were straight-up Silva-esque. Fighters aren’t paid in relation to their potential, unfortunately, but Killa B deserves a little more cash for consistently putting on great shows.
Overpaid: Josh Koscheck. Look, we’re just as impressed with Kos as the next guy, but his fight against Anthony Johnson was way too ugly to deserve the Fight of the Night bonus. And worst of all, this just gives Koscheck more ammunition to put us haters in our place…

commentsYou just can't stop the bs can you. do you even know what you are even talking about. You are like that dip shit that we all have worked with that always one ups every story people tell.
Armfarmer I bet your ass bleeds as well you fag.
got anything else children?
No One and I Mean No One takes you seriously on here and neither do I. Blow all of that BS out your ass. If i'm your major consern about you tax payer money your barking up the wrong tree, if you new anything you would know that there is no money to waste. Savy?
I think I will do whatever the fuck I want to do you jackass, get back to work, and get some fucking military bearing about yourself.
Stop your dereliction of duty and get back to the mission at hand.
Civil engineering or transportation need to rethink your rank cause you sitting in an office messing around online when you should be busy doing other things is a waste of my tax money. I suggest you keep your mouth shut and do your fucking job, if I find out what base you are on your ass is grass and I am the lawnmower, you savy?
so i spend the last half hour of my shift waiting for the CP to give me something new, and then i have to see you talking shit about not working @ work, yet all i see is your posts all throught dayshift work hours. I'm USAF I run a shop of 70 mechanics, do you really think i have a lack of work protecting your right to talk shit and troll all day?
Overpaid=Anthony Johnson 17$K to show.... more than Thiago made in his win???
Future hall of famer
Shhhhhh.
Nobody likes you.
To bad your boss didn't catch you. check out the website on your time damn it.
Figured we were going to see Tito v2.0 but we got v0.8. EVOLVE already.
Those flame shorts are fucking tired dude. Quick, let's go hot rodding... ese.
-Tito is WAY overpaid. I agree with Disco-Platypus that there is NO way in hell he should be getting paid more to show than GSP
-How the fuck does Phil Baroni make 10K more to show (in his first UFC fight in 5 years) than Amir Sadollah? If you thought indentured servitude was dead, its not. It's just been reincarnated as a TUF winner contract.
(Though those WEC boys would probably be glad to score a deal like that. Poor lil' fellas).
BTW, Baroni only made 2k less than Marcus Davis. WTF? Wonder how "The Irish (not Really) Hand Grenade" feels about that...
-WTF Dana? Are you trying to bang Koscheck's sister or something? There is no way that foul-fest was Fight of the Night. Griffin-Ortiz or Thiago-Volkmann was much more deserving. Surprised you didn't find a way to give this idiot KO of the Night too...
-Submission of the Night should have gone to Sotiropolous for that nifty spiderweb/armcrush-to-armbar thing. Oh and, besides the TUF finale, this guy hasn't lost a fight yet in the UFC and has won 4 straight. Can he at least get a little pay bump, or maybe a higher-ranked opponent next time out?
