Being a smaller promotion WEC lacks the ability of UFC to pay its top stars six to seven figures, but world extreme cage fighters still tend to walk away with a pretty penny for their combative efforsts, especially when an event draws over 10,000 fans at the ARCO Arena which netted the promotion over $550K from ticket sales alone. As expected, the hometown hero Urijah Faber walked away with the fattest knot in his pocket, earning $62K for his submission victory over Raphael Assuncao. We’ve got a complete report of fight night payouts listed below courtesy of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) and Sherdog.com.
