UFC 141 Salaries: Brock Lesnar Leads Payroll With $400,000

Brock Lesnar will fade into retirement with a fatter wallet after the main event of UFC 141.

According to figures obtained by MMA Nation, the former heavyweight champion pocketed $400,000 for his first-round loss to Alistair Overeem ($385,714.28) on Friday night.

Co-main event winner Nate Diaz was the night's other big earner. The Stockton lightweight left with a $74,000 payday for his three-round brawl over Donald Cerrone ($30,000).

Welterweight standout Dong Hyun Kim led the undercard charge, pocketing $82,000 after defeating Canadian veteran Sean Pierson ($8,000) on the UFC 141 Facebook preliminaries. The win returned Kim's name to the win column for the first time since a brutal UFC 132 loss to Carlos Condit.
