I know that they get tested pre & post fight for cocaine, PED's, amphetamines, ect...

But is caffeine allowed?

Do you get paid to fight? Or just if you win?

Caffeine is allowed, but discouraged by the various athletic commissions. Usually most just go by the WADA lists - http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/World_Anti-Doping_Program/WADP-Prohibited-list/2013/WADA-Prohibited-List-2013-EN.pdf .
