UFC Pay Days
The checks have been written and some fighters are laughing their way to the bank while others are scratching their heads as their pockets jingle. Here’s a look at the payouts for UFC Fight Night and, as always, out thoughts on the wages.
Anderson Silva - $200,000
Money well earned by arguably the best fighter in the sport
James Irvin - $20,000
It’s more than the Sandman would make as a guinea pig in a sleep study
Brandon Vera - $100,000 + $100,000 = $200,000
Sheer robbery, Vera should wear a ski mask when he goes to collect his check
Reese Andy - $15,000
Apparently, boring rounds of lackluster action go for 5 grand a piece
Frank Edgar - $13,000 + $13,000 = $26,000
Great fight for Edgar and should be worth more than what he earned
Hermes Franca - $17,000
At least he has plenty of cash to buy more blue hair dye. Which smurf would Hermes be anyway?
Cain Velasquez - $7,000 + $7,000 = $14,000
Pay days should get bigger for this up and comer
Jake O’Brien - $11,000
Maybe he can now buy a more original nickname than Irish Jake
Kevin Burns - $5,000 + $5,000 = $10,000
Biggest sham of the night. 10 grand for a poke to the eye
Anthony Johnson - $9,000
Would have earned more if he learned how Curly defended the eye poke from Moe
CB Dollaway - $10,000 + $10,000 = $20,000
Made good after his TUF loss. The future looks bright for CB
Jesse Taylor - $8,000
At least he has the money to pay for some more broken windows
Rory Markham - $6,000 + $6,000 = $12,000
He put on the best show of the night with an awesome KO
Brodie Farber - $3,000
Not only did he get paid, but he also saw stars
