The official document that we received right here earlier this morning for the UFC 82: "Pride of a Champion" fighter payroll was INACCURATE.

We emailed and spoke with Ohio Athletic Commission (OAC) Executive Director, Bernie Profato, about our concerns that the document was incorrect. At the time, he was adamant that the figures were correct.

However, he has since RETRACTED that claim:

"To All I apologize. I had my Inspector read me the contract amounts ovewr the phone so I could get the numbers for you as soon as possible and he gave the numbers backwards. ALL FEES SHOULD BE REVERSED. Thanks to you that caught this and again I apologize and will get you the updated copy soon. They ALL just need to be reversed."

Keep in mind the salaries listed above do not include fight bonuses, sponsorships, percentages and other unofficial payments. It also does not include deductions for expenses such as insurance, taxes, etc.

For example, the UFC often hands out extra cash -- also known as locker room bonuses -- for "Fight of the Night," "Knockout of the Night" and "Submission of the Night." In fact, Silva and Henderson pocketed an additional $60,000 each for the fight of the night. Furthermore, "The Spider" got another $60,000 for submission of the night.

Not a bad deal for less than 10 minutes of work (excluding all that training leading up to the bout, of course).

Leben also took home an extra $60,000 for the knockout of the night.
