10. Sergio Pettis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXg_9aLd5_Y Sergio Pettis, younger brother of lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (who you will find later on in this list), pocketed $30,000 for his bout against Matt Hobar at UFC 181. That includes a $15,000 win bonus. Pettis took home a unanimous decision victory in a bout that would later be named Fight of the Night - meaning he also pocketed an extra $50,000 for his effort. Hobar earned ten grand for his part, as well as an extra $50,000 of his own for being in the Fight of the Night.
