The UFC is where the big boys play to steal from WCW.  Dana White speaks out often against fighter complaints of unfair pay, and why the UFC doesn’t pay fighters Mayweather money. MMA Manifesto whipped up this amazing list of money fighters have banked over the years and it’s a doozy.

These are earnings after the NSAC started releasing fighter pay back in 2004. Guys like Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva have an * by their name because some of their payouts are estimated.

Check out the list of fighters who made over a million dollars in their UFC run, and some like Bisping have big fights coming up so he could easily break 5 mil in the next twelve months. Bisping steps in to the cage with Luke Rockhold  at UFC Fight Night 55 on November 8, 2014. The event is being held in Sydney and is already gaining some momentum in the hype category. PMN will have live results and play by play of the event.

One thought on “UFC has made a lot of millionaires, guess who’s first on the list.”
  1. No Nick Diaz? I thought he would have made the list? I get that he fought mostly out of the UFC but still…
