Robbie Lawler's win over Matt Brown on Saturday night moved him back into a title bout with Johny Hendricks, and brought him another $210,000 at least in fight earnings. That's the disclosed figure, as he topped the payroll for the event as released by the California State Athletic Commission.
The UFC officially paid out $986,000 to the fighters on the card, with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira ($114K), Anthony "Rumble" Johnson ($106K), and Jorge Masvidal ($84K) coming in behind Lawler on the list. Check out the full list of payouts below (via MMAJunkie.com):
