Reported Payout

The following is the reported payout to the fighters as reported to the California State Athletic Commission. It does not include sponsor money and also does not include the UFC's traditional "fight night" bonuses.

Chris Weidman: $44,000 (includes $22,000 win bonus) def. Mark Muñoz: $42,000
James Te-Huna: $28,000 (includes $14,000 win bonus) def. Joey Beltran: $15,000

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $40,000 UFC on FUEL TV 4 bonuses to Weidman ("Knockout of the Night"), Caceres ("Submission of the Night") and Te Huna and Beltran ("Fight of the Night").

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
