Payout Perspective:

There’s nothing unexpected here as the TUF cast members and the other fighters on the card earned the minimum $8K and $8k to win (except Dufresne who did not make weight and was fined).  $150K was the same amount BJ Penn made in his last fight against Rory MacDonald in December 2012.  Edgar received a $10K bump from the $120K show money he made at UFC 162.
