Full UFC 207 salaries: Ronda Rousey slated for $3 million flat payday

Win or lose, UFC 207 headliner Ronda Rousey is going home with a disclosed payday of $3 million.

MMAjunkie today obtained the list of disclosed payouts from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which is overseeing tonight’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC), a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, looks to reclaim the belt when she takes on current titleholder Nunes (13-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) in UFC 207’s heavily promoted main event.

Rousey, a small favorite heading into the fight, is slated for a flat payday of $3 million. Opponent Nunes, meanwhile, is slated for a $100,000 purse. Unlike Rousey, who isn’t eligible for a win bonus, Nunes can earn an extra $100,000 if victorious.

Rousey’s $3 million disclosed payout ties a record that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor set earlier this year at UFC 202.

In UFC 207’s co-headliner, bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (22-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) takes on rival Cody Garbrandt (10-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC). Cruz is slated for a flat payout of $350,000, and Garbrandt gets $200,000. Neither is eligible for a win bonus.

The full list of payouts include:

Champ Amanda Nunes: $100,000 (eligible for $100,000 win bonus)
vs. Ronda Rousey: $3 million (not eligible for win bonus)

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, including the official UFC Athlete Outfitting sponsorship program pay. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include pay-per-view cuts that some top-level fighters receive.

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
