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 $34,000.

In addition to experience-based pay, UFC fighters will receive in perpetuity royalty payments amounting to 20-34 percent of any UFC merchandise sold that bears their likeness, according to officials.
