UFC 102 Payouts: Nogueira Banks $460,000
Monday, August 31, 2009
by Sherdog.com Staff

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was rewarded with $460,000 for his versatile three-round victory over perennial Randy Couture at UFC 102 in Portland, Ore., Saturday.

The 33-year-old Brazilian chased away calls for his retirement by knocking down Couture twice and threatening the wrestler with an array of submission attempts on the canvas in a fast-paced affair.

Couture earned $250,000 for his second straight defeat in the Octagon, but later announced a seven-fight, 28-month contract extension (that began Saturday), which will keep the 46-year-old legend with the promotion until his retirement.

Middleweight Nate Marquardt also scared up $140,000 in his 21-second knockout of jiu-jitsu standout Demian Maia, who made $28,000. Marquardt also received the promotion’s $60,000 knockout of the night bonus and could face Dan Henderson next for a No. 1 contender’s spot, or head straight to a title bout against Anderson Silva.

Three-time NCAA Div. I wrestling champion Jake Rosholt flexed his newfound submission skills on brawler Chris Leben to take home $86,000 (including the $60,000 submission of the night bonus). Leben, who went unconscious in the third round from an arm-triangle choke, took home $30,000.
