I'm very surprised that Mike Pyle got paid 30K more than Roy Nelson. I guess Dana really does hate Big Country.

I think Nelson's still on the TUF winning contract...
Each year consists of three fights, the first year's purse per fight consists of $12,000 guaranteed with a $12,000 win bonus (a maximum of $24,000 per fight). The second year's purse per fight is $16,000 with a $16,000 win bonus (a maximum of $32,000 per fight) and the third year's purse per fight is at $22,000 with a $22,000 win bonus (a maximum of $44,000 per fight).
Or maybe not...?!

Pyle should take $40 from that 78K and get a haircut for himself, and but one for Big Country.

Judging by his do, Pyle has never once paid for a haircut and doesn't even realize it's an option.

That makes sense, he managed to get 48K for this fight though.

12K for being the main event is pretty harsh.

Still on his TUF contract, but I'm sure he was compensated for stepping up on short notice to fight in the main event
