The salary schedule for both competitors involved in tonight’s UFC 91 main event have been made available to the general public. Typically such information does not become available until after a fight card is completed, however, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer has revealed to the Los Angeles Times that both Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar are guaranteed $250,000 each. Additionally, Couture is to be paid $250,000 if he wins with Lesnar set to receive $200,000 should he be victorious.
It is important to note that both Couture and Lesnar stand to earn substantially more for their efforts in tonight’s fight. Both Couture and Lesnar will be eligible to win fight night bonuses such as cash rewards for “Fight of the Night,” “Knockout of the Night,” and “Submission of the Night.” Based on UFC president Dana White’s stated projection of 1.2 million pay-per-view buys, the promotion could give a record total in fight night bonuses.
Also, while not confirmed, based on past contract provisions, both Couture and Lesnar are expected to receive a percentage of PPV revenue generated from tonight’s fight. When it’s all said and done, both Couture and Lesnar are expected to make seven figures a piece from UFC 91

MMAWeekly.com was on location from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas where all fighters made weight.
Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Randy “The Natural” Couture returns to the Octagon taking on Brock Lesnar in a five-round title bout in the main event.
The crowd chanted, “Randy, Randy, Randy…” as Couture stepped on the scales. Lesnar was met with boos.
“I’m just ready to get in the Octagon and take that belt away from Randy tomorrow night,” Lesnar said after weighing in. “I just visualize my hand being raised. That’s all I’ve got to say.”
“This is certainly one of my biggest challenges. Brock’s a huge guy. He’s a great athlete and I’m excited as hell to be here,” commented Couture. “It’s not really about accomplishment at this point. It’s about competing and doing what I love to do and that’s fight.”
