In 2021, for the Chinese forces fighting in the UFC, there are regrets and hopes. Although Zhang Weili, the only champion in China to win the UFC gold belt this year, was painfully lost by Ross TKO, but in the second battle, Zhang Weili used her outstanding performance to let the martial fans see her hope of re-competing for the championship. So, how much income will Li Jingliang and Zhang Weili get in 2021?
Zhang Weili
In 2021, Zhang Weili played a total of two games, that is, two showdowns with Rose. Although all of them ended in defeat, Zhang Weili's progress is still obvious to all. At the same time, because these two games are championship battles, Zhang Weili's overall income is still relatively good despite not getting the winning prize money. Remember that in 2018, Zhang Weili first competed in the UFC, strongly defeating the American boxer Taylor, when the media exposed that Zhang Weili's appearance fee was $14,000, what is Zhang Weili's income now?
On April 24, 2021, in a battle with Rose, Zhang Weili received $110,000 in appearance fees and $42,000 in sponsorship fees, with a projected revenue of $152,000. In the competition on November 6, Zhang Weili received $100,000 in appearance fees and $32,000 in sponsorship fees, with a predicted revenue of $132,000. Therefore, in 2021, Zhang Weili's total event revenue is 284,000 US dollars.

Li Jingliang also played two duels in 2021, and in the match on January 16, Li Jingliang successfully KO "Argentine brother" Penznibio, with four surprises. On October 30, Li Jingliang was demoted by the "Wolf King" Chimayev naked, and although he lost the game, the martial fans still praised his fighting spirit.
According to data provided by foreign media, Li Jingliang's appearance fee against Penznibbio in January was $64,000, the winning prize was $64,000, the bonus of $50,000 and the sponsorship fee of $188,000, totaling $188,000. In the battle with Chimayev, Li Jingliang received $66,000 in appearance fees and $11,000 in sponsorship fees, for a total of $77,000. In 2021, Li Jingliang earned a total of $265,000 at the UFC.
This is the income of Zhang Weili and Li Jingliang, two famous Chinese players in 2021, is it consistent with the expectations of the heroes? We also hope that in the new year, Zhang Weili and Li Jingliang will achieve good results and get more income.
