10 Highest Paid Fighters From UFC On FOX 12

1. Robbie Lawler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLwNBH6EyJk "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler banked $210,000 in a five round decision victory over a game Matt Brown Saturday night, a number that includes a $105,000 win bonus. Another fighter benefited by a hefty Strikeforce contract, you can't argue that Lawler isn't earning his money, as he has fought for the UFC welterweight belt once already, losing the vacant strap to new champion Johny Hendricks, and has won every other fight he has had in the UFC since his return. His fight against Brown last night was awarded the Fight of the Night honours as well, which means that Lawler also picked up an additional $50,000 to bring his grand total for the evening to a solid $260,000 - over a quarter of a million dollars. Lawler now looks ahead to a rematch with champion Johny Hendricks - who earned $50,000 to show, and $50,000 to win in defeating Lawler to win the welterweight championship back in March. That's right, Lawler is earning more than to guy who beat him to win the belt - though we'll see if Hendricks has seen a pay raise since then when next they meet.
