UFC 272 Fighter Salaries, Incentive Pay, Attendance & Gate

Jorge Masvidal leads the way

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal put on an exciting main event tonight in Las Vegas, and were fittingly the top earners at UFC 272.

Please note that these are ESTIMATED purse totals, as the Nevada Athletic Commission no longer releases official purse info. However, having done estimates for the past 15 years, I am pretty good at calculating payouts.

Sorry - this info is behind the dreaded paywall because of all the time I’ve spent over the years (close to 15 years) studying pay data so I can get good estimates for you. If you believe it is a worthy cause and worth your while, you can hit the subscribe button and pay just $5/month (or $40/year) to unlock all my UFC salary data, including fight by fight breakdowns of fighter’s pay, UFC career earnings for over 2000+ UFC fighters (dating from UFC 46), and more!

Attendance: 19,425
Gate: $6,760,000
