The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Monday released The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale fighter salaries.
Michael Bisping dominated fellow TUF 14 coach Jason “Mayhem” Miller in the evening’s main event on Saturday night. Diego Brandao won the featherweight Ultimate Fighter honors, while John Dodson did the same in the bantamweight division.
The TUF 14 Finale: Bisping vs. Miller took place Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas.
The following figures are based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners’ bonuses.
Although mixed martial arts fighters do not have collective bargaining or a union, the fighters’ salaries are still public record, just as with every other major sport in the United States. Any undisclosed bonuses that a promoter also pays its fighters, but does not disclose to the athletic commissions (specifically, pay-per-view bonuses, fight of the night bonuses, etc.), are not included in the figures below.
