All the winning fighters received pay that awarded 50 percent “to show” and 50 percent as a “win bonus” — except for Lesnar, who would have earned a $200,000 win bonus.

Fight of the Night: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira def. Tim Sylvia (both fighters earn an extra $60,000)

Knockout of the Night: Chris Lytle def. Kyle Bradley (Lytle earns an extra $60,000)

Submission of the Night: Frank Mir def. Brock Lesnar (Mir earns an extra $60,000)

Note: The $60,000 checks are the highest given for those particular post-show bonuses in UFC history. Previously, the UFC 79 show (which featured Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva) saw $55,000 bonus checks as the all-time high. The event prior to UFC 81, UFC 80 (BJ Penn vs. Joe Stevenson) featured bonus checks of only $35,000.
