The Nevada State Athletic Commission has released the payroll figures for Saturday’s UFC 162 card in Las Vegas, and as reported previously, Anderson Silva led the way.

The former middleweight champ collected $600,000 for his main event tilt with Chris Weidman, who earned $48,000 for his shocking, KO win over Silva.

The card’s second highest earner was predictably former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar, who picked up $240,000 for his unanimous decision win over Charles Olveira.  The latter earned 21K for the loss.

Tim Kennedy, who recently was the subject of a headline grabbing story when he criticized fighter compensation, earned 90 grand for his decision win over Roger Gracie. The renowned grappler took home $50,000.
