Here is a look at five massive UFC fighter salaries.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is home to some of the world’s most talented and toughest mixed martial artists. Those that make it onto the roster of the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion have the chance of becoming superstars within the sport.
With the rise in popularity, these few MMA megastars gain the chance of earning massive sums throughout their careers.
Forbes has reported a prediction of the five highest salary packages among UFC competitors. The packages have been estimated based on status, anticipated opponents, and activity of the fighter.
#5: Anderson Silva
Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva salary has been estimated between $2 to $6 million. Silva is often among the few fighters in conversation concerning the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, having formerly held the record for most consecutive title defenses within the UFC.
#4: Jon Jones Why is reddit so racist.
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has earned an estimated $3 to $7 million for his salary package. The fighter competed once in 2017, facing Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight title of the UFC.
Jones earned a knockout victory over his opponent. But, the victory was short lived. Jones was stripped of his title after failing yet another drug test, overturning his victory to a no contest.
#3: Ronda Rousey
Former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been estimate at a massive salary package of $10 to $15 million. Rousey has not competed since going on a two fight losing streak in 2016. Still, Rousey drew in hoards of fight fans from around the world with her knockout artist performances inside the octagon.
#2: Georges St-Pierre
Forbes has estimated Georges St-Pierre at a staggering salary package of $10 to $20 million. The former UFC welterweight champion made his big return to the octagon back in 2017, earning the middleweight title with a victory over Michael Bisping.
St-Pierre would go on vacate the title after being stricken with colitis.
#1: Conor McGregor
To no surprise, Forbes has placed “Notorious” in their top spot with an estimated salary package of $15 to $100 million. McGregor made UFC history by becoming the only fighter to ever simultaneously wield multiple titles within the promotion, having earning the lightweight and featherweight belts.
McGregor most recently made the payday of his career within his debut in the sport of boxing. The fighter suffered a TKO loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017, but still earned a stunning $100 million for his performance.

For too long, our writers’ hyper-specific arguments have been confined to the private corridors of the Internet. Welcome to The List, where we take their instant message bickerings, add a little polish, and make them public. Today, ahead of current title holder Stipe Miocic’s rematch with former champ Junior Dos Santos at UFC 211, we make a case for the greatest UFC heavyweight champion off all time.
* * * *
Randy Couture, because he was never deterred by not being a heavyweight
Ben Fowlkes: Pop quiz, hot shots. Who’s the only person to win the UFC heavyweight title three times? For extra credit, who was the oldest person to ever defend a UFC title, as well as the person with the most overall title reigns and title fights in UFC history? If you haven’t guessed by now, the answer to all those questions is the same, and it’s your boy Randy Couture (19-11 MMA, 16-8 UFC).
I’m not going to try to convince you that Couture was the most fearsome heavyweight champ. He lacked the pure terror factor of a Brock Lesnar or Cain Velasquez, and he didn’t have as many finishing options as, say, Fabricio Werdum or even Frank Mir.
What Couture did have was longevity and consistency, all in a weight class where he really had no business even competing. At just a shade over 6 feet and usually weighing somewhere in the 220-pound range, Couture was one of the smallest heavyweight champs in UFC history. He was also in his mid-30s before he even started his MMA career, and he was giving up nearly 15 years and over 40 pounds to Lesnar when he lost his title for the last time in November 2008 at UFC 91.
Prior to that, Couture won the heavyweight title three times and the light heavyweight strap twice. He also bucked management in an early battle over contractual rights. At 44 he was on some real pre-Conor McGregor stuff, trying to forge a cross-promotional superfight with Fedor Emelianenko, his greatest heavyweight rival.
Did he ever hold the title for any considerable length of time? Well, no, but neither did anyone else. What he did do is win it over and over again, which is more than you can say for most champs. That he did it at an age when most people need a couple tries just to get out of bed is even more impressive.
Cain Velasquez, because he’s the perfect heavyweight, even if flawed
Steven Marrocco: As my colleague Mr. Fowlkes has previously noted, the heavyweight belt isn’t so much owned as merely rented in a division where one punch changes everything. If you can hang on to the strap more than once, you’ve already distinguished yourself.
Only three guys have defended the undisputed title more than once: Couture, Tim Sylvia and Cain Velasquez (14-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC). But when you look at those names, is there any doubt which was the most feared of his time?
Here’s one measure of Velasquez’s concussive abilities: Even with meteor-sized gaps in his record, he’s still the No. 4 fighter on Fight Metric’s SLpM (strikes landed per minute) list. He’s stopped 10 opponents with his fists, more than any other in the big-man division. The fact is, if you sign up to fight Velasquez, you’re going to get hurt … a lot.
Like all great UFC heavyweights, he isn’t perfect. An overhand right from Junior Dos Santos ended his ridiculous seven-fight run and first title reign. His second one ended in the thin air of Mexico City as he drastically underestimated the effects of elevation. And a great cloud of what-if accompanies his legacy given the injuries he seemed to accumulate with his knockouts.
But when healthy, Velasquez is the most terrifying heavyweight in UFC history. He can knock you out, he can take you down, and he can pound you out – faster than anybody else. With all the miles on his body, we may have seen his best in the octagon. But we might not see someone like him ever again.
Brock Lesnar, because because he caused an arms race that was only halted by his own body
John Morgan: When Brock Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) entered the UFC, I can’t begin to describe how much I hated the idea. By the time he walked away, I can’t begin to describe how much I hated to see him go.
Lesnar is an absolute specimen of a human being, and while he was best known as a professional wrestler at the time he made his way to MMA, his collegiate wrestling credentials – including an NCAA Division I championship – stand as proof of his legitimate athletic abilities.
Still, Lesnar being invited to the sport’s biggest promotion in just his second professional fight at first seemed like a carnival act. At UFC 81, Mir took advantage of Lesnar’s inexperience, not to mention Steve Mazzagatti’s oft-criticized handling of fighters, and seemingly put an end to the hype train before it ever began.
But that was just the beginning.
Lesnar would battle back to rattle off wins over Heath Herring, Couture, Mir and – in one of my favorite heavyweight title fights of all time – Shane Carwin. Along the way, the entire feel of the division changed.
Couture knew he no longer had a chance to cherry pick heavyweight fights against the new-look monsters of the class. Veterans such as Mir, who had competed in the octagon for seven years before Lesnar’s arrival, knew they had to pack on muscle to remain on even ground.
And let’s not forget the pay-per-view buys that came along the way. Lesnar was (heck, still is) a superstar.
Velasquez would certainly expose Lesnar’s flaws in taking the belt at UFC 121, and ensuing battles with diverticulitis robbed him of a chance to evolve as a martial artist. By the time he showed back up at UFC 200, it seemed clear Lesnar was just taking part in a cash grab – though he still went on to render one of the sport’s most dangerous fighters utterly pedestrian.
He has just eight total fights to his name, but his reign on the UFC’s heavyweight division was equal parts terrifying and brilliant – and he is one of just four men to have defended the UFC title twice consecutively (unifying the title against an interim champ each time). It’s easy to dismiss Lesnar as a simple sideshow, but one should also admire what he accomplished in such a short period of time, and what he could have done had the big bucks of pro wrasslin’ not claimed his prime years.
Sustained brilliance in the UFC’s heavyweight division has proven impossible since its inception, but Lesnar’s star, however short lived, burned brighter than anyone else’s.
Fabricio Werdum, because he beat the best to become the best
Fernanda Prates: I know what you’re thinking: Yes, Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1 MMA, 9-3 UFC) wasn’t even champion for a full year. That is, if you discount his interim reign, which is a fair addendum. But then again, Werdum’s entire career has been constantly plastered with similar “but he …” caveats. And ignoring them was the key behind his improbable, incredible run.
The Werdum that first came to the UFC back in 2007 was an exceedingly talented grappler. But, in spite of carrying a PRIDE stamp, that’s basically all everyone saw. While big enough to hang with his colleagues, he never carried a six-pack like Alistar Overeem’s or gargantuan biceps like Dos Santos’. He instilled little fear.
That is, of course, until the fight that changed it all. In a June 2010 bout under the Strikeforce banner, Werdum submitted all-time-great Emelianenko in a little over a minute in one of the sport’s biggest upsets to date. Never mind that he lost his next fight. Werdum had already cemented his place in heavyweight history.
Back in the UFC, Werdum made his way to a title shot in exemplary fashion, going on a five-fight tear that included a submission over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and an impeccable display over an on-a-roll favorite in Travis Browne. With each fight, Werdum’s striking seemed crisper. Werdum’s rise inside the octagon was matched by the one outside of it, with the heavyweight quickly becoming a media and fan favorite with his charisma, kindness and sense of humor.
Once again, now with a UFC title on the line, a 37-year-old Werdum saw himself a big underdog in a highly-watched encounter. And, once again, he pulled the upset – this time using a smart approach to beat Mexico City’s altitude and finish the dominant Cain Velasquez.
His failure to defend the belt, in a division where champions have historically struggled to do so, is hardly a big argument against a man who’s made a habit of rising to the occasion. And who, if history is any indication, may very well end up doing it again.

Stipe Miocic set the UFC heavyweight record with his third straight successful title defense, turning the anticipated slugfest against Francis Ngannou into a methodical and masterful ground-and-pound bout to win the main event of UFC 220 at TD Garden.
Miocic won 50-44 on all three scorecards early on Sunday and was never seriously tested by the raw and unrefined Ngannou.
Miocic (18-2) and Ngannou (11-2) had UFC fans buzzing with perhaps the most-hyped heavyweight title bout since Brock Lesnar was the class of the division. Both fighters built their reputations on the strength of nasty knockouts, and Ngannou was coming off a Gif-worthy KO just seven weeks ago. Both fighters were winded by the third round and Ngannou looked sleepy as he whiffed on a few blows in the fifth.

In the first round, the fight seemed like it could reach epic slugfest proportions. Miocic and Ngannou tagged each other several times, leaving each fighter staggered and seemingly on the brink of trouble.
“He’s a tough dude. Caught me in the first round but I took control,” Miocic said.
The fight never really picked up from there. Miocic spent the rest of the fight just banging away as Ngannou mostly covered up, hoping for one last desperate knockout punch.
The fight never really picked up from there. Miocic spent the rest of the fight just banging away as Ngannou mostly covered up, hoping for one last desperate knockout punch.
The Cameroon-born Ngannou, who this week criticized President Donald Trump for his profane description of African countries, never found that reserve power.
“I think I underestimated [Miocic] a little bit,” said Ngannou, whose rise from homeless to heavyweight contender captivated a sport eager for a new star.
Miocic beat Fabrício Werdum to win the heavyweight title in May 2016, and followed with wins against Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos and now Ngannou to slug his way into the record book.
Miocic beat Fabrício Werdum to win the heavyweight title in May 2016, and followed with wins against Alistair Overeem, Junior dos Santos and now Ngannou to slug his way into the record book.
Miocic could lay claim as UFC’s greatest heavyweight. “I mean I’m not the scariest, but I’m the baddest,” he said.
Elsewhere, Daniel Cormier locked a choke hold on Volkan Oezdemir with such force that the crowd exploded when the horn sounded to end the first round, thinking the fight was over. They were wrong.
Oezdemir was saved from submission briefly. But the inevitable defeat was just moments away. With a Boston crowd roaring and chanting his initials, Cormier showed why he’s the best active light heavyweight fighter in UFC and dominated Oezdemir via TKO to retain the 205lbs belt.
The 38-year-old Cormier was awarded the light heavyweight title after Jon Jones was stripped of the championship when he failed his latest doping test. Cormier has failed to beat Jones in two bouts and could not shake the stigma of those outcomes.
Against Oezdemir, Cormier proved worthy of the title. Cormier pinned Oezdemir against the canvas early in the second and finished him off with a series of shots to the face.
Against Oezdemir, Cormier proved worthy of the title. Cormier pinned Oezdemir against the canvas early in the second and finished him off with a series of shots to the face.
“I’ve lost twice to Jon Jones,” Cormier said. “I said coming in here that I felt like I was fighting for a vacant title again. I got the job done, so I’m the UFC champion again. I can’t ignore what happened in July. I’m a competitor. Even though I came in here as a champ, I needed a win to feel like one.”
UFC stripped Jones of the title after the California State Athletic Commission changed the result of Jones’ stoppage of Cormier at UFC 214 in July to a no-contest. Jones tested positive for the banned steroid Turinabol.
Cormier lamented leading up to the fight that he would never again fight Jones.
“I’ve done everything right and I’ve just been dragged down by this guy constantly,” Cormier said.
“I’ve done everything right and I’ve just been dragged down by this guy constantly,” Cormier said.
White suggested Cormier return to the heavyweight division and fight Stipe. But Cormier said he had little interest in the bout and friend and training partner Cain Velasquez should be next in line for a title fight.
Jonathan Bradley @Jon__Bradley
In honor of the UFC’s introduction of a third belt and UFC featherweight division at UFC 208, let’s take a look at the 15 best women currently fighting under the UFC banner.
Brandon Magnus/Zuffa LLCZuffa LLC via Getty Images
Tecia Torres
Tecia Torres bounced back from her first career loss with a convincing win over Bec Rawlings at UFC Houston. The win was her fourth in five UFC fights, but like Waterson, she fought just once in 2016.
Torres is a well-rounded fighter with plenty of potential and could conceivably fight her way into a title shot by the end of the year.
Michelle Waterson
Former Invicta FC atomweight champion Michelle Waterson has proven time and time again that she’s one of the most skilled fighters in the game.
Waterson has submitted all three of her opponents, including Paige VanZant and former title challenger Jessica Pena and has never been outstruck inside the Octagon. The only knock against “The Karate Hottie” is how little she’s fought, and we can thank injuries for that. But now that she’s healthy, expect her to climb this list in 2017.
Jessica Andrade
Jessica Andrade appears set to challenge for the UFC strawweight title after a big win Saturday night in Houston.
After spending the first two years of her UFC career fighting much bigger women in the bantamweight division, including a 1-1 series with Raquel Pennington, Andrade dropped to strawweight in 2016. The move proved to be a smart one, as she finished all three of her opponents and established herself as a legit contender to Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s belt.
Raquel Pennington
Following a split decision loss to Holly Holm in 2015, Raquel Pennington reeled off four straight wins, culminating in a dominant performance against Miesha Tate that saw her crack the bantamweight top 5 at the end of 2016.
2017 presents Pennington with the opportunity to potentially avenge the loss to Holm and maybe we earn a title shot if she keeps on winning.
Julianna Pena
Julianna Pena isn’t completely removed from the title picture after her loss to Valentina Shevchenko but after forcing the fight to the ground -- her comfort zone -- and getting submitted, it’s a pretty big setback. Pena is still very young and no doubt one of the best prospects in the division. However, she has a couple holes to plug if she wants to compete with the top three in the division.
Cat Zingano
As far as talent is concerned, Cat Zingano has it all. She is an aggressive grappler who can strike with the best of them. “Alpha Cat” actually owns TKO wins over current champion Amanda Nunes and former champion Miesha Tate but consecutive losses have hurt Zingano’s standing in the eyes of fans. She’ll need to be much more active and string together victories in 2017 if she wants to climb back into the women’s bantamweight title picture.
Ronda Rousey
Once considered the most dominant woman on the planet, the narrative around Ronda Rousey has changed significantly since she suffered her second straight knockout loss. That doesn’t change the fact that Rousey defended her belt several times while beating multiple opponents in under a minute during her reign as champion -- she definitely deserves to be on this list. But after looking like just a shell of herself in her bout against Nunes, she’ll sit in the middle of the pack until she proves otherwise.
Holly Holm
If we did this list a year ago, Holm would stand tall as the No. 2 or 3 ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But after a tough 2016, Holm enters this list at No. 7. Holm lost her belt to Miesha Tate in heartbreaking fashion to start the year and then fell to Shevchenko in a bout that was predominately fought standing. She has a chance to stop the bleeding when she faces Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural women’s featherweight title. A new belt would definitely bump Holm up a few spots but we’ll need that superfight against Nunes to know where she truly stands.
Karolina Kowalkiewicz
Karolina Kowalkiewicz put up a strong fight the first two rounds of her title fight against Joanna Jedrzejczyk but faded late and ended up losing the striking battle by a tune of a more than 3-to-1 ratio. Despite that setback, Kowalkiewicz is still 3-1 inside the UFC and 12-1 overall. She actually has a split decision win over Rose Namajunas but I scored that fight the other way and think Kowalkiewicz is a bit too one dimensional for the top 5 pound-for-pound.
Rose Namajunas
Potentially the most dynamic fighter on this list, “Ultimate Fighter” season 20 finalist Rose Namajunas comes in at No. 5. Namajunas, like Jedrzejczyk, is a fierce striker. But whereas Jedrzejczyk likes to get it done with punches and elbows, Namajunas prefers a wide array of punches, kicks and whatever other high-flying technique she can think of. The strawweight also has a slick submission game to match her all-action style.

Valentina Shevchenko
After her first loss under the UFC banner to Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko went on to outstrike and outclass former champion Holly Holm and then submit grappler Julianna Pena to establish herself as the outright No. 1 contender in the women’s bantamweight division.
Shevchenko’s first bout against Nunes was extremely close and both fighters have only gotten better in the year since they faced off. If Shevchenko wants to climb this list, all she has to do is get past Nunes … easier said than done.
Claudia Gadelha
Claudia Gadelha’s only losses in the Octagon have come against strawweight champion Jedrzejczyk, and you could make the argument Gadelha won the fight the first time around. Her suffocating ground game helped her gain notoriety in MMA but she’s gotten better on her feet every time we’ve seen her take the Octagon.
Amanda Nunes
A few more title defenses could help women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes overtake the No. 1 spot, but for now, the Brazilian superstar comes in at No. 3.
Nunes finished 2016 as a candidate for fighter of the year and for good reason. “The Lioness” started the year with a win over now-No. 1 contender Valentina Shevchenko before going on to dethrone Miesha Tate at UFC 200. She ended her run with a brutal beatdown of former champion Ronda Rousey, showing off the striking that many have lauded since her days as a Strikeforce contender.
Nunes is probably the most well-rounded fighter on this list but needs just a few more challenges to establish her true dominance. Given how many talented bantamweights made this list, she’ll have plenty of opportunity to prove herself in the near future.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk
UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is arguably the best women’s fighter on the roster. The Polish-born fighter is a perfect 13-0 and outside of Demetrious Johnson, she is the UFC’s longest reigning active champion.
Jedrzejczyk has been dominant in her time as champion, racking up four title defenses with two Fight of the Night performances along the way. Her striking is elite, as evidenced by her 693-241 significant strikes landed advantage over her last four fights, and her mouthpiece is unmatched.
It might be awhile before anyone takes that belt from her.
Cris Cyborg
Cris Cyborg is one of the most dominant fighters to ever put the gloves on -- man or woman. Cyborg has KOed 15 of her 18 opponents and the last time she lost, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You Been Gone” was the hottest song on the radio.
Until someone, at the least, takes her to the judges, there is no doubting Cyborg’s placement as the No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter on the UFC roster.
