The Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation in Virginia released the salaries from Tuesday's UFC on Fuel 3 card, and Donald Cerrone made out the best with a $60,000 payday. Not far behind was Amir Sadollah with $48,000. Cerrone earned more than both main eventers, Chan Sung Jung and Dustin Poirier,combined. They can take solace in the fact that they both earned performance bonus money though - the Korean Zombie picked up an additional 80k, while Poirier got 40k.
