10 Highest Earners In UFC History
3. Khabib Nurmagomedov - $8,680,200
Khabib Nurmagomedov may be the sport's most popular star not named Conor McGregor. He is currently 28-0 and one of the sports pound for pound best and while this helps his popularity, it isn't the only reason behind it.
He is so popular thanks to his loyal Dagestani following and for being a Muslim. Naturally, given this star power, he is a top earner for the UFC. He has made over $8.5 million to date, which is a crazy number when you consider he only has 3 UFC title bouts to his name. About a quarter of this money came from his mega-fight with Conor McGregor, which is the most bought PPV in UFC history.
Expect to see the Russian superstar earn a lot more as he's only 31 and could have a long career still ahead of him.
