The UFC generally doubles your guaranteed money if you win. Thus Hughes would have taken home $150,000 had he won. GSP would have taken $29,000 had he lost. And so on.
The only surprising one would be Mir with $36,000 in a losing effort. That's probably what it took for Mir to sign on as a former champ to basically be a stepping stone. Also, these guys often sign 3 fight contracts. Being this was the third fight since returning, Mir may have had that guaranteed money signed to him for his return. It will be more interesting to see if and when he returns to the Octagon, what will his pay be then.
