Co-main event headliners Yoshihiro Akiyama will earn $45,000 to show and another $25,000 should he defeat fellow middleweight Chris Leben. Leben, who fought two weeks ago, will make $43,000 to show and a victory would earn him another $43,000.

The full fighter salaries will be released next week by the NSAC.

These totals don’t include income earned through sponsorship, “Fight Night” bonuses, or “locker room” bonuses handed out by the UFC.
