UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs Medeiros Fighter Salaries, Attendance & Gate

Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone got a much needed win last night in Austin, and subsequently was the top earner at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs Medeiros.

Before we go any further, we should note that the Texas athletic commission doesn’t release fighter pay info, so none of the following salary data for the event is official.  However, you can get a fairly accurate picture of a fighter’s pay based on official purse info released from past fights.  So, based on that info, here is the estimated pay breakdown for the 24 fighters that traded blows at the event.  But please remember – this is only an estimate, not official info.
