Vitor Belfort bio je najplaćenije ime subotnje priredbe UFC 126 u Las Vegasu.

Iako je u kavez došao kao izazivač aktualnom prvaku Andersonu Silvi i od istog izgubio nokautom u 1. rundi, Belfort je u džep spremio 275 tisuća američkih dolara. Anderson se zadovoljio s 200,000.

Forrest Griffin zaradio je isti iznos kao Belfort, no isključivo zahvaljujući pobjedi nad Richom Franklinom (125 tisuća za borbu, 150 za pobjedu). Četvrti po zaradi je Jon Jones sa 140,000.
