Be it his impeccable mic skills, dance moves, or flamboyant personality, Israel Adesanya never fails to grab attention, which has also helped him sell pay-per-views as one of the highest-paid martial artists. While he returns this weekend against Alex Pereira at UFC 281 live, he is expected to witness a hefty payday.
The MMA promotion hasn’t revealed the actual financial figures of the UFC 281 fighters. However, Adesanya is expected to bag another million-dollar check this time. According to reports, Israel Adesanya bagged a whopping $1.8 million from his UFC 276 clash against Jared Cannonier.
Although Alex Pereira is also a high-profile fighter, he is still miles away from becoming a PPV attraction, like Israel Adesanya. With just three fights in his UFC career, ‘Poatan’ ’ earned $188,000 from his sensational KO win over Sean Strickland.
The numbers will seemingly rise when he takes on the champion- Adesanya this weekend. Upon winning the fight bonus, both men can add an extra $50,000 to their base price and the PPV points.
That said, Israel Adesanya can earn around a million, with Alex Pereira earning $500,000 from UFC 281, but the numbers can vary as we get closer to the outcome of the event.
