The Nevada State Athletic Commission has preemptively released the disclosed payroll figures for tonight's UFC 141 event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. With Alistair Overeem's earnings being revealed in a lawsuit by Golden Glory this week, the NSAC released the rest of the earnings for the event on Friday, and unsurprisingly Brock Lesnar will be the night's top earners. Here's what the fighters will make tonight (via MMAJunkie.com):
