    Thumbs down Ultimate Finale salaries.

    MMAWeekly has obtained the fighter salary information for the Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale, which took place on Saturday, November 11th.

    The following figures are from the fighter salary information that the UFC is required by law to submit to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, including the winners' bonuses. Any "secret money" that the UFC also pays its fighters is not included in the figures below.

    In the listings below, "Main Event Fighters" are defined as fighters who compete in the main event of a show on a show. "Main Card Fighters" are defined as fighters whose fights appear on the main card, but not in title fights or in the main event. "Preliminary Match Fighters" are defined as fighters whose matches take place before the live broadcast goes on the air, regardless of whether or not those matches end up airing on the TV broadcast.

    In the cases of Matt Serra and Travis Lutter, who won the TUF 4 tournaments, it was noted during the season that the two winners would each receive a cash bonus of $100,000, and you'll notice those bonuses reflected in the figures below.

    Without further ado, here are the fighter salaries for the Ultimate Fighter 4 Finale.

    Nice paydays for some of the guy's. $20,000 is not a bad payday for some of those guys. $3,000 is still awful though.
