The year’s biggest fight card has a few big potential payouts. Former UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva  (33-5 MMA, 16-1 UFC), who tonight attempts to retake his belt from current titleholder Chris Weidman  (10-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC), stands to make $800,000 at UFC 168. Weidman, on the other hand, will make $400,000 if he retains his belt in the pay-per-view event’s headliner, which takes place tonight at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. MMAjunkie obtained the “show” and “win” salaries for UFC 168’s top three fights from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which regulates the event. The card’s other championship fight, which sees UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey  (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) rematch rival Miesha Tate  (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC), is far less of a salary drag. Rousey stands to make $100,000, while Tate could get $56,000

The rest is here:

UFC 168 scheduled salaries: Silva could bank $800k, Weidman $400k – MMA Junkie
