This should be good.

I am by no means a Tito fan, but was there anyone in the UFC paid higher than him when he was the champ?

Probably Chuck. Tito was 'ducking' him for a while towards the end of his reign, and Dana was closer to Chuck, so he probably got more love ($) from Zuffa after the changeover. But to your point, yeah for his day Tito was getting paid compared to most UFC fighters for sure.
