UFC 292 fighter pay: Zhang Weili, Sean O’Malley and Aljamain Sterling top list – in that order

A dozen fighters who competed Aug. 19 at UFC 292 in Boston walked away with six-figure disclosed paydays, according to government documents.

UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili topped all disclosed amounts, pocketing over a half-million dollars ($520,000) for her successful title defense vs. Amanda Lemos ($250,000). Headliners Sean O’Malley and Aljamain Sterling each walked away with slightly less ($500,000) in terms of disclosed amounts.

The Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure released a full document of fighter bout agreements to MMA Junkie on Tuesday through a public records request. The amounts regulated by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission (MSAC) do not include LOA (side letter) bonuses, sponsorships, or other locker room bonuses.
