So you wanna be a Fighter? lets see how much does it pay. The recently concluded UFC 187 garnered a huge success and big income too. When Chris Weidman beat the brazillian Vitor Belfort he retained his title as well as a wopping $500,000 for his first round victory. Despite the loss, Rumble Jhonson took home $500,000 same as Weidman and Daniel Cormier at $180,000. A complete list of the UFC 187 salaries can be seen below. As always, these figures do not represent a fighter's total earnings, as sponsorship money, pay-per-view income, and discretionary post-fight bonuses are not publicly disclosed.
