UFC 191 payouts and salaries: Anthony Johnson rumbles his way to top spot with $230k

UFC 191 fighter payouts for those athletes competing at the "Johnson vs. Dodson 2" pay-per-view (PPV) event last weekend (Sat., Sept. 5, 2015) from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, were released earlier today by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Former UFC light heavyweight No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson was the top earner of the night, banking a cool $230,000 for his destruction of Jimi Manuwa (replay). That's just a few thousand more than co-main event heavyweights Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir, who collected $225,000 and $200,000, respectively (who should give it back after this).
