Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, including the official UFC 226 Promotional Guidelines Compliance pay. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include pay-per-view cuts that some top-level fighters receive.
For example, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC 226 fight-night bonuses to Cormier, Pettis, Rountree and Costa as “Performance of the Night” awards. No “Fight of the Night” bonuses were issued.
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
