UFC 157 Fighter Salaries: Dan Henderson and Lyoto Machida Top $1,173,300 Payroll

The UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche fighter salaries were released to MMAWeekly.com on Wednesday by the California State Athletic Commission.
Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche made history at the event, becoming the first women to ever compete in the Octagon and headline a UFC event. Rousey successfully defended her UFC women’s bantamweight championship in the main event on Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
The following figures are based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.
Although mixed martial arts fighters do not have collective bargaining or a union, the fighters' salaries are still public record, just as with every other major sport in the United States. Any undisclosed bonuses that a promoter also pays its fighters, but does not disclose to the athletic commissions (specifically, pay-per-view bonuses, fight of the night bonuses, etc.), are not included in the figures below.
