Safe to say, UFC 267 was one of the biggest events featuring multiple title fights. Now that the mega event in Abu Dhabi is finally over, different MMA fighters will either be relishing upon their victories or dwelling upon their shortcomings. Whatever may be the scenario, yet the fact that all these fighters involved are going to take home huge pay-checks will surely give them good company.
In the mega contest, fight fans got to witness everything. From a 42-year-old fighter veteran being crowned the light heavyweight champion, to one of the best bantamweight title defences of all time, UFC 267 surely lived up to its hype. Not only that but Khamzat Chimaev and Lerone Murphy too displayed some of the most vicious finishes in the same event.
Well, now that the event is over, many of you will be inquiring about the bonuses fetched by the winners. Or perhaps the salaries of all fighters listed on the fight card? If that is your concern, as well, then this article seems to be your one-stop destination.
How much did each fighter earn after UFC 267?
The first and foremost thing all fight fans should be aware of is that the Nevada State Athletic Commission does not release fighter pay. So, none of the payout data is official. Yet one can always calculate each fighter’s pay-check by looking upon their previous salaries.
