UFC 195 salaries: Lawler ($500K), Condit ($315K) earn top disclosed payouts

Headliners Robbie Lawler ($500,000) and Carlos Condit ($315,000) earned the largest disclosed paydays at this past weekend’s UFC 195 event.

MMAjunkie today requested and obtained the list of officials payouts from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

UFC 195 took place this past Saturday, Jan. 2, at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the headliner, Lawler (27-10 MMA, 12-4 UFC) defended his welterweight title with a somewhat controversial split-decision win over Condit (30-9 MMA, 7-5 UFC).

Like Andrei Arlovski, who earned $250,000 for his loss to Stipe Miocic in the heavyweight co-headliner, Condit wouldn’t have received a win bonus and instead was paid a flat rate.

The total disclosed payroll for the event was $1,723,000.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, including the official UFC Athlete Outfitting sponsorship program pay. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include pay-per-view cuts that some top-level fighters receive.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC 195 fight-night bonuses to Lawler, Condit, Miocic and McDonald. Lawler and Condit earned “Fight of the Night” awards while Miocic and MacDonald picked up “Performance of the Night” honors.

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
