The Nevada State Athletic commission has released the payroll figures for Saturday’s UFC 168 card in Las Vegas, and not surprisingly, Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman led the way.

The former middleweight champ Silva earned $600,000, according to the NSAC figures, while champion Chris Weidman took hom $400,000 (including $200K win bonus).

Weidman won the highly anticipated rematch by TKO, after Silva severely broke his leg in the second round.

Former heavyweight champ Josh Barnett was the card’s third highest earner, as he collected $170,000 for his knockout loss to Travis Browne. The latter made $56K.

Here are the salary numbers that were disclosed to the NSAC by the UFC. They do not include any pay-per-view dividends, discretionary bonuses or sponsorship money a fighter earned.
