“Rampage” Earns $325,000 to Lead UFC 92 Fighter Salaries

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the official list of fighter salaries stemming from this past weekend’s UFC 92 event, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on December 27.

Rashad Evans scored a third-round stoppage of fellow “Ultimate Fighter” winner Forrest Griffin to claim the UFC light heavyweight title in the show’s main event while Frank Mir put on the best performance of his career in defeating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to recapture a piece of the UFC heavyweight belt that he once owned.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who avenged two prior losses to Wanderlei Silva by knocking out the Brazilian in the first round of their rubber match, received the highest payout of all the fighters on the card at $325,000. Despite his loss to Mir, Nogueira was right behind Jackson with a base pay of $250,000.

Remember that this is only the base salary that a fighter received. Bonuses, deductions, and other undisclosed fees are not included.
