UFC 126 Fighter Salaries: Silva, Belfort, Griffin and Jones Earn Six Figures

The UFC 126 fighter salaries have been released and Anderson Silva, Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin and Jon Jones each earned a six-digit purse at Saturday's event from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

For his eighth straight successful title defense, middle champ Silva earned $200,000 with no listed win bonus, which means he will most likely be receiving a percentage of the pay-per-view revenue. His challenger Belfort earned $275,000 and would have made another $100,000 had he won.

Meanwhile, former light heavyweight titleholder Griffin locked in $125,000 plus a $150,000 win bonus for his decision victory over ex-middleweight champ Rich Franklin, who earned $70,000, but missed out on another $70,000 as a win bonus.

The complete salaries, provided by the Nevada state athletic commission, are below.
