#3 How much do UFC fighters make?

Conor McGregor currently makes millions for a fight

It’s hard to give an accurate answer to this question. The amount a UFC fighter makes depends on many factors such as the popularity of the fighter, the event he or she is fighting on, and the bonuses, among others.

While the likes of Conor McGregor might make millions of dollars with a single fight, there are fighters that make only a few thousand dollars.

A few years back, the fighters used to make a huge chunk of their income through sponsorship deals which they brought into the cage. However, this changed when UFC signed an exclusive deal with Reebok, restricting fighters from wearing other sponsor logos inside the cage.

Over the years, there have been a lot of issues regarding fighter pay in the UFC, as many feel that they are underpaid. So in short, fighter salaries is a sensitive topic, and it’s hard to pin point an amount a fighter makes regularly.
