Fighters with 1-3 bouts receive $ 4,000 per appearance; 4-5 bouts get $ 4,500; 6-10 bouts get $ 6,000; 11-15 bouts earn $ 11,000; 16-20 bouts pocket $ 16,000; and 21 bouts and more get $ 21,000. Additionally, champions earn $ 42,000 while title challengers get $ 32,000.
In addition to experience-based pay, UFC fighters will receive in perpetuity royalty payments amounting to 20-30 percent of any UFC merchandise sold that bears their likeness, according to officials.
