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 bonuses Zuffa LLC oftentimes pays.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC on FOX 4 bonuses to Swick ("Knockout of the Night") and Varner ("Fight of the Night"). Lauzon picked up $100,000 for "Submission of the Night" and "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.
