UFC 243 came down from Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, and showed a fight between UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and interim middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. As the two were technically champions, both got top floor champion pay: $ 40,000 per piece. They took home $ 80,000 of the $ 174,000 passed at the event.
As those two cards get thinner, they start to get thinner. No one makes more than $ 10,000 to deal with a fighter who has competed 11-15 times in a UFC organization. Three people: Dan Hooker, Al Iaquinta, Jake Matthews created that mulla.
Fourteen fighters fell into the first two tiers, earning between $ 3,500 and $ 4,000 in five or fewer fights with the organization. It's pretty sad considering how many fighters could swing for sponsor space in their clothing for major UFC payouts.
