UFC 106 Payouts: Forrest, Tito Earn $250,000 Each
Loretta Hunt Nov 23, 2009
They may have disagreed on the split decision, but Tito Ortiz and
Forrest
Griffin walked away with equal purses at UFC 106 last Saturday
in Las Vegas, according to documents released Monday by the Nevada
State Athletic Commission.
The light heavyweights earned $250,000 each (disclosed pay only) for their back-and-forth, three-round bout that Griffin won via split decision. Ortiz won the first encounter, also a split decision, in this inevitable trilogy at UFC 59 in April 2006.
Josh
Koscheck was another big winner in more ways than one. The
American Kickboxing Academy welterweight took home $246,000 for his
second-round submission against Anthony
Johnson, which included two performance bonuses distributed by
the promotion. Koscheck also utilized his platform Saturday to
campaign for a rematch with champion St. Pierre, boosting fan
awareness in the process. Johnson earned $87,000 in defeat.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira’s Octagon debut earned him $170,000, which included the evening’s knockout bonus for his tidy first-round handling of Luis Arthur Cane. Cane took home $19,000.
