UFC 146 payouts and salaries: Junior dos Santos shares 200k top spot with Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez

UFC 146 fighter payouts for those who competed at the "Dos Santos vs. Mir" pay-per-view (PPV) event this past Saturday night (May 26, 2012) from the MGM Grand Garden Casino in Las Vegas were released to MMAmania.com earlier today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Junior dos Santos, Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez finished in a three-way tie for top payout of the night, banking $200,000 for their respective performances. "Cigano" was not entitled to a win bonus, which Cain used to double his 100k income in the wake of his technical knockout win over Antonio Silva ($70,000).

Stefan Struve was next on the list with $58,000, which he earned for dispatching Lavar Johnson ($26,000) with a first round armbar. That was just a few thousand higher than longtime veteran Mike Brown, who banked a crisp $52,000 for outlasting Daniel Pineda ($10,000).
