The NSAC has released the fighter payouts for UFC 86 “Jackson vs Griffin”. Keep in mind, these figures represent the base contracted pay the fighter receives from the promotion. These figures do not include any additional “locker room” bonuses or sponsorship money, which in many cases exceeds a fighter’s base pay. These numbers also do not account for taxes, insurance, and license fees.

Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson were the night’s big money winners collecting $250,000 and $225,000, respectively. Both fighters also pocketed an extra $60,000 in bonus money for Fight of the Night honors. It’s also worthy to note that Gabriel Gonzaga earned $100,000 in a prelim fight that no one saw.
