UFC Fight Night Salaries: Jeremy Stephens ($100K), Rick Story ($76K) Top Payroll

Jeremy Stephens didn’t top the bill at Sunday’s UFC Fight Night, but the longtime Octagon veteran walked away from the event with the largest disclosed payout.

Stephens earned a paycheck of $100,000 -- including a $50,000 win bonus -- for his unanimous decision victory over Renan Barao in the evening’s featherweight co-main event at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Former bantaweight champion Barao took home $50,000 in defeat.

Sherdog.com on Tuesday obtained the event’s pay sheet from the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Other high earners on the card included returning welterweight Rick Story ($76,000), former Strikeforce competitor Lorenz Larkin ($72,000) and middleweight Chris Camozzi ($72,000).

Note: The disclosed purses reported by state athletic commissions do not include any performance-based or discretionary bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion. Additionally, the reported figures do not reflect any deductions made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not include any sponsorship money that a fighter may acquire for their performance.
