Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, including the official UFC on FOX 31 Promotional Guidelines Compliance pay. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include pay-per-view cuts that some top-level fighters receive.

For example, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC on FOX 31 fight-night bonuses to Iaquinta and Oliveira for “Performance of the Night,” and Silva and Gordon for “Fight of the Night.”

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