10 Highest Paid Fighters At UFC 181

5. Urijah Faber

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzMyAzF1Wk $140,000 is the total amount Urijah Faber took home in a record-setting win at UFC 181. With the win, a submission, he ties the record for most finishes in the promotion (including the WEC, which Zuffa purchased and merged with the UFC) at fourteen - along with Anderson Silva. He also tied the record for most submission wins between the UFC, WEC, Pride, and Strikeforce - the latter three all of which were merged into the UFC. The win includes a $70,000 win bonus, and was not without controversy. The submission was set up by an accidental eye poke, and opponent Francisco Rivera has stated he plans to appeal the loss.
