Alexander Volkanovski leaves UFC 298 without his title belt, but he took home the biggest payday of the event.
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Thirteen fighters who competed at UFC 298, more than half the hard, earned disclosed payouts of at least six figures, with Alexander Volkanovski leading the pack.
California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster released a full list of fighter purses Saturday to MMA Junkie. The amounts reflect the disclosed payouts only and do not include any off-contract bonuses, sponsor payments or discretionary bonuses.
In addition to Volkanovski, who earned a flat $750,000, fellow headliner Ilia Topuria also took home a flat purse in the amount of $350,000. Every other fighter’s disclosed payout was based on show money and win money.
Topuria went on to claim the featherweight title by knocking out Volkanovski in the second round at Honda Center.
