UFC 300 (on April 13, 2024) is a highly anticipated PPV card scheduled in Las Vegas, Nevada headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Alex Pereira and former champion Jamahal Hill. This entire card is stacked from top to bottom with 12 current or former champions including Zhang Weili, Justin Gaethje, Max Holloway, Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira, Deiveson Figuieredo, and Cody Garbrandt. Hill had won the belt by defeating veteran Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 in early 2023 but was forced to vacate after suffering an achilles rupture. Pereira then defeated Jiri Prochazka to capture the title. Update: UFC 300 lived up to the hype with absolute bangers up and down the card. The BMF title fight between Holloway and Gaethje finished with one of the greatest knockouts in UFC history. Holloway, cruising to a victory, called Gaethje to the center of the cage in the last 10 seconds and delivered a sensational walk away knockout with one second on the clock. In the Co-main event, Zhang defended against Yan Xiaonan but the challenger made her work for it. Zhang nearly finished the fight with a rear naked choke early on but Yan recovered and nearly turned the tide in the later rounds. Zhang got a second wind and took over with grappling at the end to retain her title. The main event was spectacular as well with champion Alex Pereira knocking Jamahal Hill out cold early in the first round with a short left hook. Official bonuses went to Prochazka (POTN – $300k), Gaethje (FOTN – $300k) and Holloway (POTN, FOTN – $600k). Dana also mentioned in the press conference he would be “taking care” of others like Harrison, Lopes, Figgy, and Moicano – based on other locker room bonuses – estimate this to be $100k based on the elevated bonus structure for UFC 300. Assume Pereira will be taken care of as well.Assumptions:Assuming Weili and Pereira are getting paid PPV share as the champions, along with Gaethje and Holloway because of their drawing power.Assuming 1,000,000 PPV Views only for estimation purposes based on the drawing power of this card.Assuming several veterans, former champions are getting paid flat with no potential win bonus*Note that the official payouts have not been disclosed for this fight card in Nevada so the salaries listed are based on estimates of previous contracts, trends, and drawing power.

Kelvin Gastelum Salary Information by Fight:

UFC 280 (on October 22, 2022) is a blockbuster PPV event in Dubai featuring two title fights. Former lightweight champion Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira takes on powerhouse Dagestani wrestler Islam Makhachev. Oliveira and Makhachev will be battling for the belt that Do Bronx vacated on the scale against Justin Gaethje in his last fight. The Brazilian is still considered the #1 lightweight in the world and the #3 pound for pound fighter currently. The second title fight features Aljamain Sterling defending his bantamweight strap against former champ TJ Dillashaw. After controversially capturing the belt by DQ against Petr Yan, Sterling proved he’s the real deal by defending the belt in his last bout in a rematch against Yan. Dillashaw is coming off a split decision win over Cory Sandhagen that earned him the title fight. Another highly anticipated fight on the main card features the aforementioned Petr Yan against Suga Sean O’Malley.Update: Suga Sean O’Malley won a controversial split decision over former champion Petr Yan. It was a thrilling back and forth fight with O’Malley’s striking marking up Yan’s face. It appeared as though Yan had done enough with his takedowns and ground and pound, but O’Malley got the nod. In the co-main event, Aljamain Sterling dominated TJ Dillashaw. Dillashaw appeared to pop his shoulder out after a early takedown from the champion Sterling. He was able to fix the dislocated joint in between rounds but wasn’t the same after getting nearly finished in the first round. Sterling eventually poured on the ground and pound and took the fight via second round TKO. In the highly anticipated main event, Islam Mackhachev submitted former champion Charles Oliveira to win the vacant lightweight crown. Makhachev controlled the first round with his wrestling and then knocked the brazilian down with a punch midway through the second. Makhachev jumped straight into an arm triangle and Oliveira quickly tapped to the tight squeeze. Assumptions:
