UFC 160 was a pretty memorable event.
You had a couple of the bloodiest contests in recent memory. You had a “yeah, I’m just gonna try this” moment when Junior dos Santos decided the third round of a heavyweight title elimination bout was a good time to roll out a technique he never used before. You had Cain Velasquez showing the world that his previous dismantling of Antonio Silva was no fluke and you had TJ Grant denying Gray Maynard a shot at UFC gold, while claiming that shot for his own.
And hey, the fighters even got paid for their efforts. If you care about that kind of stuff, and I know many of you do, here are the full salaries from UFC 160 provided to Bleacher Report MMA from the Nevada State Athletic Commission:
