Fighting in the UFC is about more than just glory and rankings. Money matters, plain and simple. Every punch thrown and every submission attempt represents a potential payday that could change a fighter’s life. UFC Vegas 110 went down at the APEX facility with Steve Garcia and David Onama headlining in a featherweight showdown. Neither fighter sits in the top ten yet, but this main event spot represented something bigger than rankings. It meant better pay, more exposure, and momentum heading into 2026.
The UFC Vegas 110 payouts matter enormously to these competitors who are grinding their way toward life-changing money. So how much did the main event fighters take home, and what about the rest of the card? Let’s break down the estimated earnings, keeping in mind these figures are based on publicly available information and may not reflect actual amounts including undisclosed bonuses or sponsorship deals.
Steve Garcia has jumped from $38,000 show money back in 2023 all the way to $86,000 earlier in 2025. Now, as a first-time main event headliner, it’s reasonable to expect Garcia broke into six-figure territory for this bout. That’s a massive jump that reflects both his winning streak and his exciting fighting style. David Onama has followed a similar pay trajectory throughout his UFC career. He went from $38,000 in 2023 to $75,000 in 2025. As the main event opponent, Onama likely saw another significant bump in his show money as well.

Further down the card, heavyweight Waldo Cortes-Acosta earned $100,000 in his previous outing. That’s solid money that suggests the UFC sees him as a rising attraction in the heavyweight division. His knockout victory over Ante Delija, despite the weird eye poke controversy, should keep him in a bit above this range and potentially nudge him higher for his next fight.

The welterweight bout between Jeremiah Wells and Themba Gorimbo featured two fighters at different pay levels. Wells recently earned around $29,000, while Gorimbo made $48,000 in his last appearance despite losing. This time around seems to be the same story for both fighters.
Charles Radtke sits in the $30,000 range based on his recent disclosed pay. His submission victory over Daniel Frunza showcased well-rounded skills that could help him break into the next tier of welterweight earnings. And then there’s Cody Durden, who’s become one of the highest-paid flyweights on the roster. After pulling in $150,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2025, Durden’s earning power is rare for his weight class. That kind of money for a flyweight shows the UFC values his consistent activity and reliability.
The UFC rewarded four fighters with $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses following UFC Vegas 110. Steve Garcia earned his bonus after decimating David Onama with a first-round TKO in the main event. Waldo Cortes-Acosta took home extra cash despite the eye poke controversy, finishing Ante Delija in dramatic fashion.
Four outstanding finishes tonight! 👏

Allan Nascimento’s slick anaconda choke submission over Cody Durden also earned him bonus money, extending his winning streak to four. Donte Johnson rounded out the bonus winners with his first-round guillotine choke victory over Sedriques Dumas in his UFC debut. All four fighters delivered exciting finishes that made the APEX crowd’s Saturday night memorable.
