Urijah Faber proved that he is the number one featherweight in the world on Sunday defeating Jens "Lil Evil" Pulver in a grueling five round war.

Faber’s quickness and agility proved to be too much for Pulver who was previously undefeated at 145lbs. Urijah’s unanimous decision over Pulver earned him an event-high salary of $44,000.

Jens, who would have been the highest paid fighter of the night with a salary of $66,000 if he won, ended up with a payout of $33,000.

The third top earner of the night was "Razor" Rob McCullough who took home $32,000 for his lackluster performance against Kenneth Alexander. Following Rob was WEC bantamweight champ, Miguel Torres, who earned every penny of his $28,000 with a TKO victory over Yoshiro Maeda.

The total payroll for WEC 34 was $260,000 according to the California State Athletic Commission.
