Many players enter the UFC with the intention of proving themselves, challenging the strongest opponents in the world, and eventually becoming UFC champions. But there are also some players who are welcomed for making their opponents more money, and the following three are the best of them, and it is recognized that playing with them can definitely make a fortune!
Third place, "Little Hemp" Nate Diaz
"Little Ma" Diaz in the 2016 victory over "mouth cannon" Connor McGregor, the appearance fee was 500,000, which is also the happiest money he earned in the octagon cage.
He then inherited the tradition of "helping" his opponents, with "Fly Kick" Anthony Pettis receiving $155,000 in playing fees at UFC 236 in 2019, and Leon Edwards winning $110,000 at UFC 263, not to mention his battle with "Street Jesus" Jorge Masvedahl in UFC 244, where The Motor paid $500,000. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that "Xiaoma" is a noble person of the motor.
Second place, "Nightmare" Kamanu Usman
Although the box office appeal of "Nightmare" Usman itself is average, and the PPV that plays the headline main game does not sell well, in addition to maintaining his record of 14 consecutive wins, the defending champion status can also make the opponent earn a lot of money.
Among his most recent opponents, Colby Covington of UFC 245 is worth $580,000, Masvedahl of UFC 251 is $500,000, Gilbert Burns of UFC 258 is worth $380,000, and in the second match between UFC 261 and Masvedahl, opponents have earned $800,000.
The first, "Mouth Cannon" Connor McGrady
As the first place in the world's richest athlete in 2021, "Mouth Cannon" Connor not only makes the most money himself, but also makes his opponents smile, and the title of "Red Panties Night" is really not in vain.
As the first "big money donor" of the UFC, everyone can understand why "Diamond" Dustin Poir does not fight the championship battle, preferring to fight with the "mouth cannon" continuously.
In the two games with "Mouth Cannon", "Xiao Ma" made a conservative estimate of $2.5 million. "Kitty" Kabib's appearance fee in UFC 229 is also starting at $2 million. The second battle between "Diamond" Powaril and "Mouth Cannon" can earn $830,000 without counting the PPV share.
