Alexander Volkanovski Career Earnings

The biggest purse of Alexander Volkanovski’s career to date in the UFC came in his last fight at UFC 273. The Aussie reported pocketed somewhere in the region of $1.7 million in total, taking into account his base salary, win bonus, sponsorship earnings, gate and his lion share of the pay-per-view (source: totalsportal.com).
The second larger purse of Volkanovski’s came at UFC 280 against Yair Rodriguez in the fifth defense of his 145-pound strap. ‘The Great’ reportedly earned a guaranteed salary of $1.5 million.
