The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today released the official fighter purses for those who competed at UFC 100 this past Saturday night (July 11) from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Two current champions — Brock Lesnar and Georges St. Pierre — were the big winners of the night, taking home an event-leading $400,000 apiece. Both fighters experienced similar results inside the Octagon — Lesnar was rewarded for pounding out Frank Mir in two rounds, while "Rush" went home a little richer after a five-round clinic on challenger Thiago Alves.
Dan "Hollywood" Henderson pocketed a cool $250,000 for his bone-crunching performance, which also earned him an extra $100,000 for "Knockout of the Night."
