Fighters in the UFC are compensated by the league via several means. There is the contracted amount to show and to win, plus Reebok money, and in addition sometimes fighters get locker room bonuses of varying amounts that despite their name actually come in the mail. For the most elite fighters, there is a cut of the PPV that can run into millions.
Further, four $50,000 performance bonuses are given at each event. Usually, there is a Fight of the Night in which both fighters are given a performance bonus, and two performance bonuses to winners in two fights. However, for this event, four $50,000 performance bonuses were given out, with no Fight of the Night.
Further, in a sign of the depth that is one of the primary differences between the UFC and boxing, all four winners were from the undercard.
