Have a look at the UFC 315 purse, bonus prize money winner and payouts
Although the UFC does not formally release fighter compensation prior to events, it is instructive to examine the reported expected payouts and prior earnings for major stars such as Valentina Shevchenko, Belal Muhammad, and the returning Jose Aldo. These projections are predicated on previous payouts, anticipated sponsorship revenue, and prospective pay-per-view revenue splits.

Estimates for UFC 315 pay-per-view sales range from $100,000 to $200,000, which is significantly below than the UFC’s blockbuster average. With co-headliner Valentina Shevchenko taking on a lesser-known opponent in Manon Fiorot and headliner Belal Muhammad still finding it difficult to connect with casual fans, the event lacks widespread star power even if it includes two title fights.
Concerns have been heightened by the slow ticket sales, which sources suggest that roughly half of the tickets were sold in the days leading up to the event. These elements imply that UFC 315 would not do well financially unless there is a spike in last-minute interest due to late publicity.
Belal Muhammad: Belal Muhammad is scheduled to compete for the welterweight belt at UFC 315. Muhammad is anticipated to get a base purse of $750,000; if PPV sales surpass projections, total earnings may increase. A base salary of $500,000 is anticipated for his opponent, Jack Della Maddalena, with additional income from sponsorships and a possible win bonus.
The expected base pay for former flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event is $500,000. Potential bonuses and PPV incentives could increase her total salary to $1,000,000. According to reports, Manon Fiorot, her opponent, would receive $250,000 in base pay; performance incentives and post-fight bonuses could increase that amount to almost $700,000.

Jose Aldo: Another big attraction for UFC 315 is the return of former featherweight champion Jose Aldo. According to reports, Aldo’s basic pay for the fight will be $400,000.
In addition to an estimated $6,000 in sponsorship revenue, his opponent, Aiemann Zahabi, is anticipated to earn approximately $75,000.
Additional anticipated rewards are $200,000 for Alexa Grasso, $350,000 for Jessica Andrade, and $60,000 for up-and-coming competitor Natalia Silva. Additionally, as usual, the UFC will give out $50,000 performance bonuses for Fight of the Night and outstanding finishes, which could greatly boost certain fighters’ ultimate pay.
