Seems like an awful lot of bullshit in that list there.

Or do you honestly believe, Luke, that Gracie fought for $1?

Obviously there was something up there.

With that said, I think mostly we complain about STRIKEFORCE payouts which clearly don't make any sense.

Re: UFC 109 payouts

Also I found this :

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.

In other words, the above salary figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event

This may explain why the payout lists usually look low for some fighters
