Despite his main-event defeat and losing his heavyweight title to Cain
Velasquez, Brock Lesnar was the top earner at this past weekend’s UFC
121 event and earned $400,000 of the night’s $1.513 million disclosed
payroll.
MMAjunkie.com recently requested and today received the list of salaries from the California State Athletic Commission.
Tito Ortiz ($250,000), Velasquez ($200,000) and co-main-event winner Jake Shields ($150,000) were other top earners from the card, which took place Oct. 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
