The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has released the fighter payouts for UFC 84 “Ill Will” this past Saturday. As usual the total fighter payout is around one million dollars (unless Chuck Liddell or Cro Cop are on the card).

The CageToday “Stiffed” award goes to Keith Jardine who pulled in a disappointing $10k for his loss to Wanderlei Silva. Love him or hate him, the guy has fought tough fighters like Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffen, Wanderlei Silva, Houston Alexander, Wilson Gouveia, Stephan Bonnar and Mike Whitehead.

Remember kids, this is why you don’t sign a TUF contract. You end up fighting the “best of the best” in your division for the probably the same amount Dana White tips his strippers on any given night.
