Be it his impeccable mic skills, dance moves, or flamboyant personality, Israel Adesanya never fails to grab attention, which has also helped him sell pay-per-views as one of the highest-paid martial artists. While he returns this weekend against Alex Pereira at UFC 281 live, he is expected to witness a hefty payday.
The MMA promotion hasn’t revealed the actual financial figures of the UFC 281 fighters. However, Adesanya is expected to bag another million-dollar check this time. According to reports, Israel Adesanya bagged a whopping $1.8 million from his UFC 276 clash against Jared Cannonier.
Although Alex Pereira is also a high-profile fighter, he is still miles away from becoming a PPV attraction, like Israel Adesanya. With just three fights in his UFC career, ‘Poatan’ ’ earned $188,000 from his sensational KO win over Sean Strickland.
The numbers will seemingly rise when he takes on the champion- Adesanya this weekend. Upon winning the fight bonus, both men can add an extra $50,000 to their base price and the PPV points.
That said, Israel Adesanya can earn around a million, with Alex Pereira earning $500,000 from UFC 281, but the numbers can vary as we get closer to the outcome of the event. UFC 281 live will feature several more star prospects of the promotion like Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler, Dan Hooker, and others. Here’s a look at the complete card.
