In PRIDE FC, I think the prize money for the champion is 5 million dollars for fighting, an extra 5 million for winning. In the UFC, since the sport grew from the 1990's, when Mark Coleman was the champion, it was 250k for fighting, and an extra for winning, now though, the light heavy and heavyweight champs command 5 million dollar purses total I think, 2.5 for fighting and 2.5 for winning. A dude can win 10 straight title defenses as the MMA champ, and then retire. Or, like Randy Couture did, use the money to start his own gym.
In the video game UFC:2009 Undisputed in the intro for career mode they say they have a 6 figure salary.
*Edit - They get paid no where near as much as boxers though. Anderson Silva, probably the best light heavyweight fighter ever only get 150,000 a year, which is why he is switching to boxing in 2010.
