Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive. For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC 160 bonuses to Grant ("KO of the Night"), Teixeira ("Submission of the Night"), and dos Santos and Hunt ("Fight of the Night").
