UFC 303 payouts: How much are Alex Pereira, Jiri Prochazka and others making? Estimated purses reported

UFC 303 on June 29 was projected to generate the highest revenue for the UFC this year. However, as bad luck would have it, its main event attraction, 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor, had to pull out due to injury just weeks before the event. McGregor is responsible for nearly all of the highest-grossing pay-per-views in the UFC.

In replacement of their biggest cash cow, the UFC brought back Alex Pereira and his iron fists to defend his UFC light-heavyweight world title in a rematch against Jiri Prochazka. Both fighters were present at UFC 300 just last April and will make a quick turnaround next weekend, which may positively affect their payouts.

In their first bout back at UFC 296 in November last year, Pereira got paid an estimated $1,132,000 against Prochazka's estimated $552,000. Considering the late-notice nature of the fight and the rather quick turnaround, expect their payouts to be higher or at the very least in the same neighborhood as these numbers for UFC 303.

Anthony Smith, who is also coming in as a late-notice replacement for Jamahal Hill, will face Roman Dolidze after Carlos Ulberg also pulled out. Smith is expected to get paid his base salary of $200,000 while Dolidze is expected to get paid similar to his estimated payout which was upwards $200,000 as well.
