The California State Athletic Commission has released the official salaries for all the contestants who competed in Saturday’s “UFC 184: Rousey vs. Zingano” event.

With a submission victory over Kosh Koscheck, Jake Ellenberger (pictured) was the night’s highest earner with $136,000. Half of the welterweight’s paycheck came via win bonus.

Despite being the show’s biggest superstar, bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey only made a disclosed $130,000 for beating Cat Zingano.

However, don’t feel bad for Rousey. It has been reported that Rousey should clear over a million dollars after getting her piece of the pay-per-view pie.

Please keep in mind, the numbers that get reported to the athletic commissions are only of what’s required. These figures do not include deductions for items such as licenses and taxes.

Additionally, they do not contain money paid by sponsors or any bonuses from the UFC. These royalties can include pay-per-view commissions, Fight Night bonuses, top secret discretionary bonuses, etc., which can oftentimes represent a substantial portion of a fighter’s total income.

Staples Center in Los Angeles hosted Saturday’s event.
