Un-redacted documents show the UFC gave Lyoto Machida a $100,000 stoppage bonus

Last week we reported that un-redacted documents used in the UFC Anti-Trust Lawsuit have revealed some interesting information about former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s pay-grade. But, that was just one fascinating tidbit from the document dump, which has exposed some previously guarded secrets from ZUFFA’s business playbook.

The information is all provided in formerly redacted passages from the expert report of Hal J. Singer, an expert witness for the Plaintiffs in the anti-trust lawsuit. The lawsuit is currently being contested between a group of former fighters (including John Fitch, Cung Le, and Kyle Kinsgbury) and ZUFFA LLC, whom the fighters accuse of running a monopsony.
