Merab Dvalishvili, the main attraction at the pay-per-view event, is set to get one of the largest payouts of his career. ‘The Machine’ earned $550,000 for his first championship defence against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 in January, according to BetMGM.
Dvalishvili is expected to earn between $800,000 and $1 million for his rematch with Sean O’Malley apart from PPV sales, with the stakes being significantly higher this time.
In contrast to his last performance, O’Malley, the past champion, is anticipated to witness a little decline in earnings. “Sugar” reportedly took home a substantial $3.2 million prize at UFC 306. He is expected to earn between $2 million and $2.5 million this Saturday night, though.
As the current champion, Julianna Pena is one of the main draws on the UFC 316 schedule, and her anticipated income reflects her star power. ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ reportedly made around $1.03 million for her title-winning effort against Raquel Pennington at UFC 307 in October, in accordance with BetMGM.
Pena is expected to get a little boost for her impending championship defense against Kayla Harrison; estimates put her compensation at about $1.5 million.
Harrison is still on track to earn the largest payout of her UFC career, despite the fact that she is currently making a lot less than the current champion. For her title challenge, the two-time Olympic gold champion is anticipated to get between $550,000 and $800,000. Harrison reportedly earned about $175,000 for defeating Ketlen Vieira at UFC 307, in contrast.
