UFC 249: Fighter Salaries

May 12, 2020 by Christopher James

UFC 249 took place last Saturday night at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville Florida.

A truly great night of fights took place and it was such a welcome night as it was the return of live sporting events to the world since the pandemic with COVID-19 had reared its ugly head.

All the fighters put on million-dollar performances, and I wish they all made a million dollars. With that being said, here are the full purses received by each athlete on the card, not including any post-fight bonuses or other financial compensation that they may receive for their participation in the event.

UFC249: Disclosed Purses

Sam Alvey: $65,000
Ryan Spann: $50,000
Charles Rosa: $24,000
Bryce Mitchell: $54,000
Niko Price: $57,000
Vicente Luque: $180,000
Michelle Waterson: $60,000
Carla Esparza: $102,000
Fabricio Werdum: $100,000
Aleksei Oleinik: $160,000
Donald Cerrone: $200,000
Anthony Pettis: $310,000
Yorgan De Castro: $12,000
Greg Hardy: $180,000
Jeremy Stephens: $46,900*
Calvin Kattar: $116,100**
Jairzinho Rozenstruik: $80,000
Francis Ngannou: $260,000
Dominick Cruz: $300,000
Henry Cejudo: $350,000
Tony Ferguson: $500,000
Justin Gaethje: $350,000

$50,000 bonuses were awarded  to the following fighters:

Francis Ngannou – performance of the night

Ferguson and Gaethje – fight off Dthe night

Justin Gaethje – performance of the

For Justin Gaethje, the two bonuses he received this past Saturday night give him a total of 9 post-fight bonuses in just 7 appearances inside the octagon which I believe is a record that will probably never be beaten.
