The above figures are the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners’ bonuses.

The figures do not represent a full accounting of each fighter’s income.

Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, plus insurance, licenses, and taxes.

On the income side, sponsorship money is earned by each fighter from Reebok, the UFC’s exclusive apparel brand. As well there are explicit ‘of the Night’ performance bonuses, and less formal ‘locker room’ bonuses.

Main event PPV fighters can receive a percentage of the PPV gross, variously determined.
