By Josh Stein on Feb 08, 2010
Well, the numbers are in. Here they are:
Randy Couture ($250,000) def. Mark Coleman ($60,000)
Chael Sonnen ($32,000 + $32,000 W + $60,000 FotN) def. Nate Marquardt ($45,000 + $60,000 FotN)
Paulo Thiago ($15,000 + $15,000 W + $60,000 SotN) def. Mike Swick ($43,000)
Demian Maia ($31,000 + $31,000 W) def. Dan Miller ($15,000)
Matt Serra ($75,000 + $75,000 W + $60,000 KOotN) def. Frank Trigg ($30,000)
Mac Danzig $40,000 ($20,000 + $20,000 W) def. Justin Buchholz: $8,000
Melvin Guillard ($14,000 + $14,000 W) def. Ronys Torres ($4,000)
Rob Emerson $24,000 ($12,000 + $12,000 W) def. Phillipe Nover ($10,000)
Phil Davis ($5,000 + $5,000 W) def. Brian Stann ($17,000)
Chris Tuchscherer ($10,000 + $10,000 W) def. Tim Hague ($7000)
Joey Beltran ($6,000 + $6,000 W) def. Rolles Gracie ($15,000)
The payroll comes out to just over a million dollars, once bonuses are factored in. Of course, almost a quarter of that went to Randy Couture, but still a pretty good night.

Damn Serra came out with 210 gs. Not a bad night of work for the short Guido.
I’d love to see him and Thiago fight next.
Biggest disappointment was Rolles Gracie. And the most over paid! But some of those guys still are making crap!
