Main-event winner Matt Brown was the top earner at this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 40 event, where he netted an $82,000 disclosed payday.

Close behind him was veteran middleweight Ed Herman, who picked up $80,000 in disclosed fight money.

MMAjunkie today obtained the list of disclosed payouts from the Ohio Athletic Commission.

UFC Fight Night 40 took place May 10 at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati. The main card aired on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on FOX Sports 2 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, Brown picked up a remarkable third-round TKO win over Erick Silva after surviving a rough start to the first round, when Silva dropped him with a body shot and tied him up in a lengthy submission attempt. The win was Brown’s seventh straight.

In addition to his $82,000 salary, he picked up another $100,000 in bonus money after the fight.

The total disclosed payroll for the event was $680.

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 discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC Fight Night 40 bonuses to Brown, who doubled up for “Fight of the Night” and “Performance of the Night,” Silva and Eduardo.

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