The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale payouts for those who competed at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) "Faber vs. Jorgensen" event this past Saturday night (April 13, 2013) from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, were acquired by the folks at MMAJunkie.com earlier today (April 14, 2013) from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Main event winner Urijah Faber received the biggest paycheck as "The California Kid" walked away with a cool $110,000 for his fourth-round submission of Scott Jorgensen (watch it here).
The second place winner may come as a surprise, however, as longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Cole Miller took home a $42,000 for his submission win against Bart Palaszewski ($15,000).
