As expected, heavyweight "Warmaster" Josh Barnett was the top earner of the night, bankrolling a crisp $150,000 for smashing the grand prix dreams of Russian striker Sergei Kharitonov, who earned an impressive $100,000 in defeat.
Also making it rain is Daniel Cormier, who has 100,000 reasons to be happy after beating the snot out of Brazilian "Bigfoot" Antonio Silva, who will not advance to the tournament final but has 100k and a year's supply of Turtle Wax for being a contestant.
But that's not all.
