UFC bonus money leaders
How much UFC fighters have actually earned from post-fight bonuses, priced at the published rate for each era.
How the figures are worked out Hide ▾
A post-fight bonus is a discretionary cash award, and its size has changed several times. It was $50,000 from 2014 through 2025, doubled to $100,000 for the Paramount era from 2026, and individual cards have paid far more — $300,000 at UFC 300, and $425,000 for Performance with $400,000 for Fight of the Night at the White House event. Before 2014 the amount was announced per card and ranged from roughly $40,000 to over $100,000; we hold no figures for that era, so those awards are excluded here and each fighter's count of them is shown on their row. Ranking on money rather than count reorders the board sharply, because when an award was won now matters as much as how many. This covers bonuses only — not purse, pay-per-view share or undisclosed payments.
