Lyoto Machida looks like he earned himself a middleweight title shot after his victory over Gegard Mousasi last night at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs Mousasi.  Even better, The Dragon walked away the top earner of the night.

Before we go any further, we should note that most international athletic commissions don’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, especially for any fighters that made their UFC debuts at the event or Jacare Souza, whose Strikeforce purse info we are using for the time being – we’ll update figures for all the fighters once we get more info).
