UFC Fight Night 80, TUF Finale payouts return event-high salaries for Frankie Edgar and Sage Northcutt

Fighter payouts for those athletes competing at the UFC Fight Night 80 and The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 Finale events last week (Dec. 10-11, 2015) from inside "Chelsea" at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, were released earlier today by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

As you might expect, Frankie Edgar scored top dollar for his knockout win over Chad Mendes (watch it), because "The Answer" is a former champion and longtime employee. Sage Northcutt, on the other hand, is just two fights into his Octagon career and already earning more than veterans like Gabriel Gonzaga and Mike Chiesa.
