TUF 13 Finale Fighter Salaries

(Danny Downes allows his arm to get turned into silly putty for a measly $4,000)

Not only did Clay Guida notch (perhaps) the most important win of his career on Saturday night, he also went home with the fattest pockets.  The Carpenter pocketed $74,000, tops among the 22 combatants at the TUF 13 Finale.  So what does a guy who lives in a motor home do with $74,000?  Buy gas, of course.  74 Gs should get him a tank and a half or so.
