UFC 67 Payouts and Purse
Due to the fact that he failed to make weight for his fight against Anderson Silva, Travis Lutter was fined 10% of his pay. Since his pay was $20,000, the fine was $2,000. Of that amount, $1,000 went to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and $1,000 went to Anderson Silva for agreeing to fight Lutter even though Lutter hadn't made weight. These amounts are reflected in the salaries listed below for Silva and Lutter.

Was Anderson Silva’s Elbows Illegal?
XiolinFighter has created a thread regarding UFC 67 and the fight against Anderson Silva Vs Travis Lutter.
Now, I saw the fight… and some say the elbows delivered to Travis Lutter's noggin were illegal. I do not believe so; under NSAC Unified Rules, it has to be a "spike" elbow to be illegal. This means a direct north-south path and connecting with the point of the elbow. The shots I saw had enough of an arc to them I would rule them within legal manuvers, since the back of the head was not getting hit.
Anyone else who saw the fight agree, disagree, or don't really care?
