UFC 100: Fight Night Bonuses, Main-Event Salaries

In the first wave of post-fight announcements following UFC 100, the organization confirmed that it issued $100,000 “Fight Night” bonuses to the four selected recipients.

With a showstopping knockout that left his opponent unconscious for several moments, Dan Henderson scored the best knockout bonus for his victory over Michael Bisping. Tom Lawlor earned the submission of the night award for his quick victory over CB Dollaway, and Alan Belcher and Yoshihiro Akiyama both received rewards for their “Fight of the Night.”

Earlier in the day, sources confirmed the payouts for the marquee fighters on the card. Brock Lesnar received $400,000 for his win over Frank Mir (Mir earned $45,000), while Georges St. Pierre net $400,000 to Thiago Alves’ $60,000. All four men, and likely Henderson and Bisping, are reportedly due a portion of the UFC 100 pay-per-view revenue, which should be sizable given the magnitude of the event.
