UFC fighters are known to have some huge contracts and deals. Fighters like McGregor and Jon Jones have received some of the highest paying contracts in all sports, not just the UFC. Dana White hasn’t been afraid to shell out money where it’s due.

The women’s fighting business in the UFC has seen a massive rise in popularity in the last decade. Ronda Rousey’s arrival and steep rise were also instrumental in that as she was in the Top-10 highest-earning women on the planet at one point.
Her steady decline and her loss to Amanda Nunes laid the stage for Amanda’s steady rise to the throne. Amanda Nunes has been dubbed as the greatest fighter of all time by many in the MMA world. She has been a dominant force in the women’s divisions and is currently a champion in two different divisions.
Her accolades and her tale justify her being the highest-paid female fighter in all of MMA, not just in the UFC. According to The Sports Daily, Valentina Shevchenko, Holly Holm, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and the current strawweight champion Zhang Weili are among the highest earners in the UFC.
According to Fox Sports, UFC legends Michael Bisping, Georges St. Pierre, and Anderson Silva follow McGregor in the Top-5 and a surprise candidate Mark Hunt in 5th. ‘The Cowboy’ is in 6th place due to the high amount of fights he has fought in the UFC.
