UFC 141 Bonuses and Payouts

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the payouts for the fighters that competed in last Friday’s (Dec.30) UFC 141 event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Surprisingly Brock Lesnar who returned from a 14 month layoff and lost his fight to Alistair Overeem led the way with a $400,000 payday. Alistair Overeem who defeated Lesnar in the main event in the first round by TKO was not far behind pocketing nearly $386,000 in his Octagon debut.

The night was full of decision victories, but a few big moments happened on the main PPV card. The UFC handed out $75,000 to each of the nights bonus winners.
