MMA Fighting has obtained the purses for the main-eventers for Saturday’s UFC 232. Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson will earn $500,000 for their main event at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
There is no indication that either will receive a win bonus although it’s likely that each will receive a PPV upside. In addition, Cris “Cyborg” will earn $500,000 while her opponent Amanda Nunes will earn $350,000. The two will fight for Cyborg’s Featherweight title.
Payout Perspective:
Cyborg earned $500,000 in her last fight at UFC 222 in March. Nunes’ last reported salary was at UFC 207 when she retired Ronda Rousey and earned $200,000 and another $100,000 for her win. Jones had earned $500,000 for his fight against Daniel Cormier in July 2017. Gustafsson has not had a reported purse since 2012 so it’s hard to gage how much he’s earned for non-title fights. We should have the rest of the list after the event.
