Daniel Cormier: Alex Pereira Will Earn $10 Million for UFC White House

Former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier has revealed a remarkable detail regarding Alex Pereira’s upcoming appearance at UFC White House.

According to Cormier, the Brazilian superstar will be the highest-paid fighter on the historic card in Washington, D.C.

“Pereira is the only fighter on the UFC White House card who will make $10 million for this fight,” Cormier said.

If the figure proves accurate, it would represent the largest guaranteed purse of Pereira’s career and one of the biggest contracts ever awarded by the UFC to an active fighter.

Beyond the financial reward, Pereira will have the opportunity to achieve a historic milestone inside the Octagon. In the co-main event of UFC White House, he is scheduled to face Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC heavyweight championship.

A victory would make Pereira the first fighter in UFC history to win championship titles in three different weight classes, having already captured belts at middleweight and light heavyweight.

The achievement would further cement the legacy of “Poatan,” who has rapidly become one of the biggest stars in combat sports since joining the UFC.

UFC White House is set to take place on the night of June 14–15 in Washington, D.C. In addition to the clash between Pereira and Gane, fans will also witness the lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, which is expected to headline one of the most unique events in UFC history.
