The payroll for UFC 157: Rousey vs Carmouche has been disclosed by the California State Athletic Commission. The events payroll was $1,173,050. Co-main event participants Lyoto Machida and Dan Henderson were the weekend’s biggest earners, with both fighter’s salaries coming in at over $200,000.

Main event participant Ronda Rousey earned $90,000 for her first-round submission victory and defense of her women’s bantamweight championship.

Before looking over the entire list of fighter salaries, it is important to note that the figures do not include fight of the night bonuses — Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, Knockout of the Night — nor do they include money from sponsors or cuts of the pay-per view share.
