UFC 167 payouts and salaries: Georges St. Pierre claims $400k top prize, 'Suga' Rashad Evans banks sweet $250k

UFC 167 fighter payouts and salaries for those who competed at the "St. Pierre vs. Hendricks" pay-per-view (PPV) event this past Saturday night (Nov. 16, 2013) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas were released to MMAmania.com earlier today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

No surprises here.

Former current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre was the top earner of the night, raking in $400,000 for his controversial split decision win over division number one contender Johny Hendricks, who limps home $50,000 richer in defeat.

No belt, no win bonus.

Also scoring a major payday is former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans, who found 250,000 reasons to beat the shit out of Chael Sonnen in the UFC 167 co-main event. "The American Gangster," who claims to be the promotion's second-best draw, will have to settle for $100,000 and a future payday opposite Wanderlei Silva.
