It depends on how popular you are..

Guys like Lesnar , Couture , Liddell , Rampage get paid like $250,000 - $500 , 000 a fight.

Some get paid as low as $3000 a fight which is why they have a part time job.

it depends some of the top names will make 100's of thousands to show, and same amount to win, others have ranged over a million per fight, others will get about 2,000 to show, and 2000 to win, and they have knock out, submission, and fight of the night bonuses that are usually like an extra 50 grand. it all depends.

In the UFC, contracts are set up so that they get a base amount to show, and another amount, usually double if they win.

I've seen fighters get anywhere from 4K a fight to 500K a fight. The UFC also hands out official bonuses for KO of the night, Sub of the night and Fight of the night, as well as unofficial locker room bonuses for good performances by fighters.

Between those bonuses and the sponsorship money a fighter accrues, it is nearly impossible to determine an exact number.

For some, 3-4 fights a year is barely enough to make a living, while established fighters like GSP, Rampage or Liddell can clear over a million in a night.
