Three of the four title fighters at UFC 232 made $500,000 for their efforts Saturday night.
But seven other fighters on the card took home six-figure paydays, as well. MMAjunkie on Saturday received the official pay sheet from the California Athletic Commission, which oversaw the event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
The total disclosed payday at UFC 232 was a little more than $3.5 million.
Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) and Alexander Gustafsson (18-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) each made $500,000 in the main event, which saw Jones win the light heavyweight title with a third-round TKO. Cris Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) made $500,000 in a defense of her women’s featherweight title, but quickly was dispatched by women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes (17-4 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who made $350,000 and became a dual titleholder.
Former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (27-18 MMA, 16-12 UFC) took home $300,000 in a split-decision loss to Walt Harris (12-7 MMA, 5-6 UFC), who cleared $72,000. UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn (16-13-2 MMA, 12-12-2 UFC) came out of retirement and was submitted in the first round by Ryan Hall (7-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC). Hall made $38,000; Penn took $150,000.
Corey Anderson (12-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) made $130,000 for his decision win over Ilir Latifi (14-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC). Alex Volkanovski’s (19-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) second-round TKO of Chad Mendes (18-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) was good for $125,000.
Michael Chiesa (15-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) nearly got to six figures with a submission of Carlos Condit (30-13 MMA, 7-9 UFC), who made $115,000 in the loss. And Uriah Hall (14-9 MMA, 7-7 UFC) picked up $110,000 for his come-from-behind knockout of Bevon Lewis (6-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
UFC 232 took place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

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 232 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 232 fight-night bonuses to Nunes and Ryan Hall for “Performance of the Night,” and Volkanovski and Mendes for “Fight of the Night.”
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
