Randy Couture made an extremely successful return to prominence in the light heavyweight division Saturday night at UFC 109, looking better at 46 years old than in any fight he's had in the last few years. Couture being Couture, he was of course the top earner of the night, and as far as total disclosed payroll is concerned he earned a little over a quarter of the night's total payroll. Other top earners of the night were Matt Serra, Chael Sonnen and Demian Maia. Full disclosed salaries for the event are below:

-Randy Couture: $250,000 (no win bonus)
