UFC Career Fighter Earnings | Salary Main

Ever wonder how much money your favourite fighter has earned throughout their career? Us too, so we went about figuring it out. Here is the total career earnings for every UFC fighter over the past seven years (the only fighter we are missing is Renzo Gracie, who we currently can't get a good pay estimate for).

But, before we reveal the list, first some ground rules. Athletic commissions didn't start releasing fighter purse info until 2004, so the info below only reflects money earned from UFC 46 and onward. Also, these are only the reported salaries plus Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night and Submission of the Night bonuses that have been made public. Many top performing fighters get additional bonuses paid out to them that aren't reported, plus the top guys get a cut of the pay-per-view buys for events that they headline (not to mention every fighter makes sponsorship money).

Also, many athletic commissions don't report fighter's salary info, so for those we've estimated a fighter's purse based on what they have earned in their other fights. Fighters with some estimated purses are marked with a * in the database. This data should still be considered very close to accurate, as most fighters' purses remain rather steady from fight to fight (unless they ink a new contract in the meantime).

Yup...but man did he get brutally knocked out by Robbie Lawler...

Kind of interesting to see Rich be kind of far down from the top, I kind of expected him to be around 15 or so.

Then again, its reported salaries...the list would probably look completely different as far as the top 30 earners or so if the undisclosed pay was also being taken into consideration.

[Ramma]

It's hard for me to remember when but up until much later in his career, Rich was only making about 80k to fight.

You'd have to check that as I don't entirely remember.

Gah, How exactly does bisping get into the top 10, having never even seen a championship belt outside the souvenier shop??

I was surprised too to see Bisping that high. Over Penn, Silva, Hughes, Franklin, etc was a shocker to me.

[v3xi]

What a meaningless list. There are so many hidden things not factored in. What about fighters that didnt make weight and had their purse cut? What about when Dana gave Shogun that extra money when he "lost" to Machida in their first fight?

There is no point in discussing a list that the author himself says is not accurate.

[SwordofAres]

Gray Maynard is severely underpaid

[end it with a left]

Thanks but I am still curious about how much each fighter has made. That didn't answer any questions for me. Like GSP makes atleast a mil per fight but has only made three his entire career? How about guys who coach tuf? I also don't know why Machida is interested in making Anderson Silva money as he has made almost as much in a shorter time and without being champion very long.

[Leucoethiops]

Give the UFC props, they create a lot of jobs.
