It’s interesting to see that most fighters are now getting in excess of the UFC entry level $10k/$10k. Only the first fight on the card between Johnny Cisneros and Joshua Jones sees fighters below that threshold. The winner of the AJ Mckee vs Patricio Pitbull Freire matchup will get a life-changing $1,000,000 bonus for winning the grand prix.
It’s important to note that Bellator fighters can seek out their own sponsorships which will add significantly to their pay. In many instances, it’s likely that entry-level Bellator fighters are making more than entry-level UFC fighters due to sponsorships.
