UFC 292 fighter pay: Zhang Weili, Sean O'Malley and Aljamain Sterling top disclosed list – in that order
A dozen fighters who competed Aug. 19 at UFC 292 in Boston walked away with six-figure disclosed paydays, according to government documents.
UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili topped all disclosed amounts, pocketing over a half-million dollars ($520,000) for her successful title defense vs. Amanda Lemos ($250,000). Headliners Sean O'Malley and Aljamain Sterling each walked away with slightly less ($500,000) in terms of disclosed amounts.
