The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the fighter payouts for this past Saturday’s UFC 74: Respect card.
- Randy Couture — $250,000
- Gabriel Gonzaga — $45,000
- Georges St. Pierre — $140,000
- Josh Koscheck — $10,000
- Roger Huerta — $34,000
- Alberto Crane — $4,000
- Joe Stevenson — $32,000
- Kurt Pellegrino — $8,000
- Patrick Cote — $24,000
- Kendall Grove — $12,000
- Renato “Babalu” Sobral — $50,000
- David Heath — $6,000
- Frank Mir — $66,000
- Antoni Hardonk — $8,000
- Thales Leites — $18,000
- Ryan Jensen — $4,000
- Clay Guida — $14,000
- Marcus Aurelio — $30,000
Again, these numbers do not include undisclosed bonuses. It’s nice to see that the UFC has once again raised their “newcomer” base pay from $3k to $4k. Also, as we noted earlier, half ($25,000) of Sobral’s pay is currently being withheld by the NSAC pending a ruling on his fight with David Heath.
I’m still waiting on the suspension list, but what we do know so far is this: Randy Couture suffered a broken arm in the third round of his fight with Gabriel Gonzaga, and Joe Stevenson suffered a broken jaw in the first round of his fight with Kurt Pellegrino.
