So let’s take a quick dive into the expected purse for the UFC Louisville fighters.

A report from ‘Marca’ gives out estimates that ‘The Killa Gorilla’ will pocket a base salary of around $80k. He will also earn around $20k from sponsorships, boosting his overall earnings to around $100k.

Cannonier’s French rival, Imavov’s earnings are also expected to be around the same range. The report says that the Paris native will earn about $85k as his base salary, while an extra $15k will load up on it as the sponsorship amount.

What will co-main eventers and other UFC Louisville fighters earn?

UFC Louisville co-main eventer, Dominick Reyes’ fight purses have been through several ups and downs. Reyes earned a total amount of $120k from his UFC 281 fight against Ryan Spann, while the total earnings from his UFC 247 fight stand at $380k. But it would be safe to predict that the Victorville native will pocket around $150k as his guaranteed fight purse.

Another half of the co-main event, Dustin Jacoby, will be pocketing something around $50k as his guaranteed fight purse. But he will walk out with about $60k, after including an estimated $10k from sponsorships.

Meanwhile, touted UFC prospect, Raul Rosas Jr. will also make something around the same range with a guaranteed fight purse of a similar amount.

So, it will be exciting to witness which of the fighters manages to boost their earnings by claiming the post-fight bonuses. There’s $100k to collect.
