UFC 320 Payouts: How Much Did Alex Pereira, Magomed Ankalaev And Others Make?

Fighting for glory is one thing, but fighters also fight for their paychecks. UFC 320 delivered spectacular action with two championship fights at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Alex Pereira reclaimed his light heavyweight title. Merab Dvalishvili defended his bantamweight belt with a dominant decision victory. The card featured high-stakes battles from top to bottom. While legacy and pride motivate these elite athletes, financial compensation matters significantly.

The UFC 320 payouts show how much Alex Pereira, Magomed Ankalaev and others made for their performances. Official purse details remain undisclosed by the UFC, but historical earnings data provides reliable estimates. These projections come from previous fight purses reported by credible MMA salary tracking sources. Championship fights typically command the highest payouts, especially for proven pay-per-view draws like Pereira.

UFC 320 Estimated Payouts

Alex Pereira’s earning history shows a clear upward trajectory as his star power has grown. Based on his earning pattern, Pereira likely earned between $3 million and $3.5 million for UFC 320 (plus $50 K POTN bonus). The Brazilian striker consistently delivers exciting finishes that fans pay to watch. His marketability extends beyond fighting with a massive social media following and mainstream appeal.

Magomed Ankalaev’s earning details are less publicly available than Pereira’s numbers. As the defending champion heading into UFC 320, Ankalaev’s projected earnings likely reached around $3 million. Championship status typically comes with increased base purses and additional bonuses.

Merab Dvalishvili has seen his earning power grow alongside his winning streak. His estimated earnings sit around $2 million for his third title defense of 2025. His relentless fighting style and championship consistency have made him a valuable UFC asset.

Cory Sandhagen’s earning history shows more modest numbers compared to the champion. He earned $311,000 for his fight against Song Yadong. His bout with Petr Yan brought him $232,000 in compensation. For the UFC 320 title challenge, Sandhagen’s projected purse likely remained in a similar range to his previous fights of $250,000 to $320,000. Championship challengers without champion status typically earn less than defending titleholders.

Jiri Prochazka’s purses have varied throughout his recent UFC run. He made $782,000 against Pereira in one bout and $704,000 against Aleksandar Rakic. His first fight with Pereira earned him $1.3 million in compensation. For UFC 320, Prochazka’s earnings information wasn’t publicly available, but he earned an extra $100,000, thanks to 2 bonuses.

UFC 320 Bonuses

UFC 320 awarded $50,000 performance bonuses to three fighters who delivered exceptional finishes. Jiri Prochazka earned a Performance of the Night bonus for his dramatic third-round comeback knockout. Alex Pereira received a Performance of the Night bonus for his devastating 80-second title winning knockout. Joe Pyfer also earned a Performance of the Night bonus for his submission victory over Abus Magomedov.

Jiri Prochazka had an even bigger night financially by also winning “Fight of the Night” honors, as did Khalil Rountree. This battle earned both of them additional $50,000 bonus. This means Prochazka walked away with $100,000 in bonus money on top of his base purse. These bonuses provide significant additional compensation that can make a real difference for fighters’ earnings.

UFC 320 Gate Revenue And Attendance Numbers

UFC 320 proved to be a massive financial success at the box office. The event generated approximately $9 million in gate revenue from ticket sales. T-Mobile Arena was completely sold out with 19,081 fans in attendance.

These numbers reflect the drawing power of both championship fights on the card. Pereira’s star power combined with Dvalishvili’s championship status created significant fan interest.
