Nick Diaz earned baller status at Strikeforce: Miami this past Satuday by taking home $100K for his knockout win over Marius Zaromskis that also crowned him the Strikeforce middleweight champion. Diaz was not the highest paid fighter of the night as Robbie Lawler also took home $100K for his incredible effort against Melvin Manhoef, but since Diaz got the jewels as well as the cash, he gets our nod as the biggest baller of the night.

In total, Strikeforce handed out $469,600 in disclosed payroll, and below you will find a complete list of each fighter’s share of the loot, courtesy of MMAJunkie.com:
