Timothy Elliott came up short in his bid to win the UFC’s flyweight title on Saturday, but the veteran fighter did earn one of the card’s biggest payouts.

Elliott faced champion Demetrious Johnson at the TUF 24 Finale, which was a bout he earned by winning the season’s flyweight tournament. Johnson went on to win the Las Vegas bout, however,  via unanimous decision.

According the salaries that were disclosed to the Nevada Commission via the UFC, Elliott was paid $100,000 for the bout. Johnson, on the other hand, earned $350,000.

Here are the payouts that the commission has released for the December 3rd card (via MMA Junkie). If the fighter earned a win bonus, then this figure is noted in brackets and is reflected in the total on the left.
