TUF 8 Finale Payouts and Bonuses
By CagE | December 14, 2008
The Nevada State Athletic Commission released fighter payouts for The Ultimate Fighter Season 8 Finale on Saturday night.
The big winner of the night goes to Wilson Gouveia, who despite loosing 20% ($9,200) of his fight purse for not making weight, pulled in a hefty $36,800 for his win over “The Athlete” Jason MacDonald.
Loser of the night has to go to Kevin Burns for only pulling $7,000 for getting knocked out cold on national television. Burns contract only guaranteed him $7,000, that’s $1,000 less then all the TUF 8 fighters were guaranteed and this was his third fight for the UFC.

Thats kind of stupid that Vinny and Nover got the same as Dave Kaplan and all the other fighters who lost that night as far as fighter from the season. I mean comeon Nover was in the finals he should have gotten more then a guy who wasnt in the finals that lost. Same with Vinny.I mean really Jules Bruchez got 8k? That dude is for real a bitch. He would get his ass kicked at a local bar.

The 4 that made it to the finals had the shot at the big contract – that was payment enough. And at least the 4 of them have futures in the UFC – can’t say the same about the rest.

Thats true. They have guaranteed fights in the future.
