Takanori Gomi’s 64-second knockout of Tyson Griffin earned him $120,000, according to figures released by the California State Athletic Commission on Thursday. Included in that total, the former Pride Fighting Championships lightweight champion also earned the promotion’s $40,000 “Knockout of the Night” bonus for his first win in the Octagon. Xtreme Couture’s Griffin, notching his second defeat in less than two months, made $30,000.

Rising light heavyweight Jon Jones netted $46,000 for his commanding first-round win over Vladimir Matyushenko, while middleweight contender Yushin Okami took home the same for his split decision win against hungry wrestler Mark Munoz.
