The California State Athletic Commission released the salaries for all combatants that took part in Saturday night’s UFC 157 event. The event took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California and will go down in history as the first time women have fought inside the Octagon.
Co-Main event fighters Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida topped the payroll with Hendo bringing in $250,000 and Machida not too far behind at $200,000. Machida won the fight by split decision.
