Lightweight Joe Lauzon also enjoyed a profitable night, collecting $84,000 - includes a win bonus of $12,000 and $60,000 for submission of the night - in manhandling Gabe Ruediger. Diaz had 328 strike attempts compared to 203 for Davis.
Diaz's ban will be extended to 180 days if his nose requires treatment.Īccording to FightMetric, the two combined for 531 "significant strike attempts," a UFC record for a three-round fight. Davis, whose face was a bloody, swollen mess by the end of the bout, needs a CT scan before he is cleared to fight again. Welterweight Nate Diaz picked up $120,000, including a $30,000 bonus and $60,000 for fight of the night, for his third-round submission of Marcus (The Irish Hand Grenade) Davis.ĭavis made $91,000, including his $60,000 fight of the night bonus.īoth fighters received 60-day medical suspensions. It's likely the UFC topped off Edgar's purse in some fashion, probably to match or exceed Penn's ultimate payout. The UFC only divulges certain bonuses and elite fighters usually get a cut of the lucrative pay-per-view. The commission figures do not tell the whole story, however. Penn, who lost the 155-pound championship to Edgar at UFC 112 in April, made $150,000 - missing out on a further $150,000 win bonus. Edgar's purse includes a $48,000 win bonus. In the main event, Frankie (The Answer) Edgar collected a basic purse of $96,000 in defending his lightweight title against B.J. Toney's purse was released Thursday by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission.Ĭouture, a UFC Hall of Famer who has held both the light-heavyweight and heavyweight titles, earned a basic purse of $250,000 for dispatching the pudgy boxer in three minutes 19 seconds at the TD Garden.Ĭouture, 47, took Toney to the ground within 15 seconds of the bell sounding, pummelling him from above before finishing him off with an arm triangle.Īccording to FightMetric, which handles UFC statistics, Couture landed 41 of 50 strikes while Toney was good on four of six. That works out to more than $2,500 a second in the Octagon for Toney, although the 42-year-old heavyweight did spend some nine months training in mixed martial arts. Former champion boxer James (Lights Out) Toney made US$500,000 for his short-lived MMA debut, a first-round submission loss to Randy (The Natural) Couture at UFC 118 last weekend in Boston.
