When taking a look at these numbers, please keep in mind that they do not reflect post fight bonuses (e.g. fight of the night, knockout/submission of the night) or other bonuses that are frequently handed out by the UFC.

Here are the salaries for UFC 148, as released by The Nevada Athletic Commission:

Anderson Silva – $200,000 (no win bonus)
Chael Sonnen – $50,000

Forrest Griffin – $275,000 ($150,000 win bonus)

The most glaring salary on this list is Chael Sonnen and the $50,000 he earned for his fight against Anderson Silva. In case you were concerned about Sonnen's low salary, rest assured he will be given a substantial chunk of change for the pay-per-view revenue this generated.

In addition to pay-per-view buys, the "live gate" numbers for UFC 148 approached $7 million, and were the highest in MMA history.
