How much do UFC (MMA) fighters earn?

Question

a match between chuck liddle and rampage jackson. How much would the winner get? and would the loser get anything?

Answer 1

Some get paid more some less... depend on the contract outcome

Answer 2

Mostly goes by contract.  But, fighters can earn bonuses and they do get a piece of the PPV, so it can vary greatly.  Some can ear a few thousand while others earn a few hundred thousand, if not more.

Answer 3

MMA fighters have a huge range of pay.  If you're new to the UFC and you lose on the undercard, you might get $3,000.

If you're Chuck Liddell, you get $500,000 and another $500,000 if you win.  

When Chuck and Rampage fought the first time, Rampage took home $450,000 for winning and Chuck took $500,000 for losing.

I'm sure they'd both make more if they fought again.  

Also, theres the new announcement of the toy deal, so the UFC fighters that sign up for that now receive royalties from sales.   its a great time to be a UFC fighter right now.
