August 1, 2016 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

MMA Junkie reports the payouts from this past Saturday’s UFC 201.  The headliners drew the top pay for the card.

The payouts were disclosed by the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission.

Via Junkie:

Tyron Woodley: $340,000 (includes $70,000 win bonus)
def. Robbie Lawler: $500,000

Karolina Kowalkiewicz: $38,000 (includes $19,000 win bonus)
def. Rose Namajunas: $46,000

Jake Ellenberger: $150,000 (includes $75,000 win bonus)
def. Matt Brown: $73,000

Erik Perez: $48,000 (includes $24,000 win bonus)
def. Francisco Rivera: $23,000

Ryan Benoit: $26,000 (includes $13,000 win bonus)
def. Fredy Serrano: $12,000

Nikita Krylov: $48,000 (includes $24,000 win bonus)
def. Ed Herman: $51,000

Jorge Masvidal: $114,000 (includes $57,000 win bonus)
def. Ross Pearson: $54,000

Anthony Hamilton: $32,000 (includes $16,000 win bonus)
def. Damian Grabowski: $18,000

Wilson Reis: $50,000 (includes $25,000 win bonus)
def. Hector Sandoval: $12,000

Michael Graves: $12,000
vs. Bojan Velickovic: $14,000 (fight was declared a majority draw)

Damien Brown: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)
def. Cesar Arzamendia: $10,000

As always, the payouts do not include the Reebok Outfitting Policy Payouts, fight night bonuses as well as other undisclosed bonuses.

Payout Perspective:

The payouts do not include Ian McCall and his show and win bonus despite not fighting.  Notably, Jake Ellenberger made $75K/$75K plus an extra $50K for his stoppage of Matt Brown.  A nice $200K for a guy that was going to be out of a job in the UFC.
