Post-fight awards paid $116,600,000 across 2,179 awards we hold a published rate for: $50,000 from 2014 through 2025, $100,000 from 2026 under the Paramount deal, and more on select cards — $300,000 at UFC 300, $400,000 and $425,000 at the White House event. A further 759 awards, all before 2014, are left out: amounts were announced per card then and we hold no figures for them. Purse, pay-per-view share and undisclosed payments are not included here, and the $25,000 finish bonus introduced in 2026 is absent from our source entirely.

Bonuses are counted from official UFCStats results across each fighter's UFC career. "All-time total" is a cumulative count and naturally favours long careers; "bonus rate" normalises by fights to surface fighters who earn one nearly every time out.
