UFC 226 Salaries: Stipe Miocic Wins $ 750k Against Daniel Kormier

LAS VEGAS – The wisest man on the planet will get the biggest dividend release for the UFC 226.

Stipe Miocic, UFC heavyweight champion (18-2 MMA 12-2 UFC), will win $ 750,000 payday for its super fight title against heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), which will bring him $ 500,000.

when they had beaten, the co-heads Max Holloway (19-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) and Brian Ortega (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) would have been the second best result for the event. Featherweight champion Holloway, who retired this week with concussion-like symptoms, was to make $ 350,000 to defend his title against Ortega, who deserved $ 250,000.

MMAjunkie obtained the list of payments disclosed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which will regulate UFC 226. The event will be held Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the main map will be broadcast a la carte following the playoffs on FS1 and UFC Fight Pbad.

Now the usual warning: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes . In addition, the figures do not include the money paid by the sponsors, including the official salary of the UFC team sponsorship program. They also do not include other "locker rooms" or special discretionary bonuses that the UFC pays often. They also do not include the cuts to the card that some high level fighters receive.

For example, UFC officials will give $ 50,000 extra UFC 226 combat bonuses for "Performance of the Night" and "Fight of the Night."

In other words , the figures above are simply basic salaries reported to the board and do not reflect pay packages for the event.

* Chiesa weighed heavily and will lose 30 percent of his purse for Pettis
