Valentina Shevchenko received a guaranteed $500k from the fight at UFC 285. Pay-per-view money and bonuses are the basis for further earnings. Her total compensation, including a win bonus and performance incentive, amounted to $1 million.
While Alexa Grasso received a guaranteed purse of $210,000, her sponsorship income confirmed the $32,000 in performance bonuses she will get.
We may anticipate that UFC 227’s payouts will resemble those of UFC 285 to some extent.

How Much Money Will Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko Make?
On Saturday, September 16, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight world championship rematch between Mexico’s Alexa Grasso and Kyrgyzstan’s Valentina Shevchenko will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, upset the odds by defeating the unbeaten Shevchenko at UFC 285 in March.
On that particular occasion, the Mexican had a highly disciplined and reliable boxing approach, making crisp combinations. And when Shevchenko missed a spinning back kick in the fourth round, exposing her back, she didn’t let the chance slip away.
Jumping onto her back, Grasso delivered a mata Leon to the neck of the feared boxer at the time, who weighed 125 pounds.
The then-29-year-old was declared the first Mexican UFC champion as a result of the submission.
‘The Bullet’ is seeking retribution and a chance to reclaim her title, which she had previously lost to the Mexican and had held for nearly five years.
Since switching to the flyweight division, Grasso has not lost, and her most recent loss came in 2019 to strawweight champion Carla Esparza.
On Mexican Independence Day, Alexa, whose slogan is “respect, honour, discipline,” will defend her title for the first time at UFC Fight Night 227 against “The Bullet,” who will do whatever it takes to reclaim her championship.
