UFC 106 Payouts: Forrest, Tito Earn $250,000 Each

The light heavyweights earned $250,000 each (disclosed pay only) for their back-and-forth, three-round bout that Griffin won via split decision. Ortiz won the first encounter, also a split decision, in this inevitable trilogy at UFC 59 in April 2006.

Josh Koscheck was another big winner in more ways than one. The American Kickboxing Academy welterweight took home $246,000 for his second-round submission against Anthony Johnson, which included two performance bonuses distributed by the promotion. Koscheck also utilized his platform Saturday to campaign for a rematch with champion St. Pierre, boosting fan awareness in the process. Johnson earned $87,000 in defeat.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira’s Octagon debut earned him $170,000, which included the evening’s knockout bonus for his tidy first-round handling of Luis Arthur Cane. Cane took home $19,000.
