10 Highest Earners In UFC History
2. Alistair Overeem - $9,569,500
Alistair Overeem was always going to be a high earner but be the company's second-highest is quite surprising, honestly. The veteran has gone 9-7 in the UFC but has had some huge fights. He previously challenged for the Heavyweight title but lost to Stipe Miocic and has also beaten the likes of Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir.
Surprisingly, he has pocketed over $700,000 in each of his last 9 fights despite going 5-4 in this time. The Dutch Kickboxer's last fight saw him earn an estimated $850,000 despite losing to Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Meanwhile, Rozenstruik only pocketed an estimated $35,000.
Make no mistake, Overeem is a great fighter and legend of the sport, but he seems to be paid way too much for what he offers. More power to him though, I guess.
