Jon Jones earned a base salary of $500,000 for his unanimous decision victory in the main event of UFC 182.
The UFC light heavyweight champion’s purse did not include a win bonus, which means Jones would have earned $500,000 regardless of the outcome of his title bout with Daniel Cormier, who took home $90,000 in defeat. The pair went head-to-head Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and the payroll numbers were disclosed by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday.

Other high earners on the card included Evan Dunham ($54,000), Brad Tavares ($50,000) and Nate Marquardt ($49,000).
Note: The disclosed purses reported by state athletic
commissions do not include any performance-based or discretionary
bonuses that may be awarded to a fighter by the promotion.
Additionally, the reported figures do not reflect any deductions
made by the commission for taxes, insurance, etc., and do not
include any sponsorship money that a fighter may acquire for their
performance.
