Revealed Payouts
A class action lawsuit against the UFC has led to the disclosure of several interesting details about fighter earnings. Documents obtained by Bloody Elbow show the career earnings of various fighters between 2011 and 2016. Surprisingly, some fighters made significantly more than their publicly disclosed pay.
Here are some notable examples:
- Miesha Tate earned $453,000 in her rematch against Ronda Rousey, despite the disclosed pay being $28,000. She also made over $2 million in her fight against Amanda Nunes.
- Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes both earned multi-million dollar figures in their fights against Tate and Rousey, respectively.
- Nate Diaz, known for his outspokenness about fighter pay , had undisclosed additional payments in his fights against Rafael dos Anjos and Conor McGregor. His earnings skyrocketed to over $2 million and $4 million in those fights.
- Chael Sonnen’s payouts were also among the disclosed numbers, raising questions about fighter pay in the UFC.
Fighter’s Encounter with Home Intruder
UFC fighter Sean Strickland recently shared CCTV footage of an intoxicated man entering his residence. In a subsequent video, Strickland explained that the intruder had assaulted a woman and sought refuge in his house. Strickland confronted the intruder with a gun and later reported that the man was arrested.
Impact on Tony Ferguson
Paddy Pimblett believes that Tony Ferguson’s recent losses to Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler have had a negative impact on his career. Pimblett discussed Ferguson’s intense training regimen, including a viral ‘Hell Week’ with David Goggins, which resulted in Ferguson vomiting on camera. Pimblett suggests that Ferguson’s brain may not be the same as it was a few years ago and questions the necessity of such extreme training.
