According to the Nevada commission, Couture's purse for his August win over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 74 was US$250,000. Liddell made $500,000 at UFC 76 in Anaheim, according to the California State Athletic Commission.
Recent purse figures for other top fighters were $350,000 for Mirko (Cro Cop) Filipovic at UFC 67, $225,000 for Quinton (Rampage) Jackson at UFC 71 when he dethroned Liddell and $210,000 for Tito Ortiz at UFC 73.

Liddell's purse was more than 35 times that of Keith (The Dean of Mean) Jardine, who made $14,000 for beating the Iceman.
