See the released payouts from last Saturday’s UFC 250 card.
Lost in the shuffle of the wave of news over the past few days is that we have the full payout sheet for UFC 250. As expected, Amanda Nunes is the top earner with $450,000, split into $350,000 base and then an additional $100,000 for her dominant win over Felicia Spencer, who got $125,000 as title challenger.
In total, six fighters got six-figure purses, but only Nunes, Cody Garbrandt, and Felicia Spencer were assured of six figures without having to win. Aljamain Sterling, Neil Magny, and Alex Caceres all cleared $100,000 by getting their hands raised.
In total, disclosed payroll was $2,194,000 for the entire card, but this does not include Reebok sponsorship money, post-fight bonuses, discretionary bonuses, etc.
(Purses via MMA Fighting through the Nevada State Athletic Commission)
