I’m still experimenting on how to display this info on Substack - if I paste all the info in the bulk of the post, it’s too big for email inboxes. So, PDF attachment it is for now.

Below you’ll find attached the UFC career fighter earnings for 2000+ UFC fighters who have stepped into the octagon since athletic commissions first started releasing this info at UFC 46 (2004). Asterisk reflects the fighter has some estimated data in their total. And the numbers listed are a fighter’s purse, end-of-night bonus totals, and Reebok/Venum sponsorship pay - it doesn’t include any undisclosed bonuses or PPV earnings.
