10 Highest Earners In UFC History
1. Conor McGregor - $15,082,000
Overeem may make a lot but his numbers still don't compare to those of Conor McGregor. Realistically he was the only man or woman that was going to top this list.
Ever since his debut in 2013, The Notorious has quickly become the biggest thing the sport has ever seen. He has headlined 5 out of 6 in terms of highest-selling UFC PPV's. PPV bonuses not being included in these figures makes his $15,082,000 seem even better.
Also not included is the ridiculous amount he made for his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather nor is anything he has going on outside the octagon. And that's likely to increase.
He may be controversial but it's this that has helped him become MMA's most recognisable star. Not bad for someone that was once earning £1500 yearly from fighting.
