Reported UFC Freedom 250 Fighter Payouts Revealed

UFC Freedom 250 at the White House became one of the most-watched events in the promotion’s history, and reports have now surfaced regarding the fighters’ estimated earnings from the historic card.

Leading the list is Alex Pereira, who reportedly earned around $10 million despite losing to Ciryl Gane. The massive payday places the Brazilian well ahead of every other fighter on the card.

Former lightweight champion Ilia Topuria is believed to be the second-highest earner, taking home approximately $2.5 million for his title fight against newly crowned champion Justin Gaethje.

Gaethje himself reportedly earned around $2.35 million, including bonuses, after capturing the lightweight title with his victory over Topuria. Meanwhile, Ciryl Gane received an estimated $1.25 million following his win over Pereira.

The remaining top earners on the card received significantly smaller paychecks. Sean O’Malley reportedly earned $647,000, while Diego Lopes collected $450,000. Michael Chandler and Derrick Lewis rounded out the list with estimated payouts of $421,000 and $420,000, respectively.
