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 that are not disclosed by the organization.
They also do not include the WEC’s traditional “fight night” bonuses. The WEC issued $10,000 awards to Aldo (KO of the Night), Roller (Submission of the Night), Swanson (Fight of the Night) and Franchi (Fight of the Night).
