MMAMania.com has received the fighter payouts for Strikeforce: "Diaz vs. Cyborg" from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) for the Showtime event held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, on Jan. 29.
As expected, Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz was one of the top earners of the night. The foul-mouthed fight monger banked a cool $150,000 for submitting Evangelista Santos ($20,000).
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza brought home $70,000 for retaining his middleweight crown with a rear naked choke victory over "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler ($65,000).
Everyone's favorite former NFL great Herschel Walker also came away with some decent coin (not really). His first round knockout of Scott Carson earned him a hefty sum of $5,000.
Carson, who threw all of two kicks in the fight, brought in $5,000 as well. That's $2,500 per kick for all you math wizards out there.
