UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who topped the 11-fight bill last Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, banked a flat $200,000 with no win bonus for his 10th consecutive title defense, a second-round stoppage of Chael Sonnen ($50,000).

Other high earners on the card included middleweight Cung Le ($150,000), welterweight Demian Maia ($96,000) and lightweight Melvin Guillard ($72,000).
