What’s that one fight that screams the battle of true equals? It’s none other than the fight between Diego Lopes and Brian Ortega. Both of these individuals were supposed to fight each other at the UFC 303 but a sudden change in ‘T-City’s health halted the match and Dan Ige stepped in to fight the Mexican fighter. The promotion rescheduled their match at the UFC 306/Noche/Sphere and we are just moments away from witnessing the clash between them.

The duo are set to conclude their rivalry at the prestigious stage of UFC Noche. However, the glam and sham of the events have intrigued the fans about the potential payouts for the fighters. Well, without any further ado, let us get deep into their purses.

How much is Brian Ortega earning at UFC 306?

The former UFC featherweight title challenger has been earning a fat check for his fights under the promotion. Well, it should not be a surprise as Brian Ortega is one of the most established names under the promotion. ‘T-City’ earned a massive $104,500 as his total payout in his fight against Renato Miocano, it must be noted that the amount included $26,000 for base salary, $ $50,000 for performance bonus, $26,000 for win bonus, etc.

The fight against Miocano was the first time when Ortega saw a hefty paycheque that went beyond $100000. Since then, Ortega has been earning a substantial amount of money from his fights. The fighter earned a massive $300000 when he fought against Alexander Volkanovski. It must be noted that the amount was just his base salary as he lost the match.

Brian Ortega continues to increase his star power, and this is one of the reasons why people specifically come to watch him fight. It must be noted that his BJJ skills can be attributed to this. His total career earning from the promotion goes well past $ 2 million. If we were to take those numbers seriously then the fighter can earn around $200000-$500000 in his fight against Diego Lopes at UFC 306.

It must be ͏noted that t͏his fig͏ur͏e c͏ould͏ incr͏ease co͏ns͏iderabl͏y due t͏o the ͏signif͏ican͏t increase in the c͏ase of c͏omp͏li͏ance pay. ͏Now, let’s turn ͏our attentio͏n to ͏Sh͏ev͏chen͏ko’s earnings for Noche UFC.

How much is Diego Lopes earning at UFC 306?

Unlike Brian Ortega, who has been with the promotion for quite some time, Diego Lopes is fairly new under the promotion. The fighter debuted against Joanderson Brito in the Dana White contender series. His initial fighters under the promotion were shaky as he lost back-to-back two fights but after his loss against Movsar Evloev, Lopes has been unstoppable as he is yet to lose.

Regarding Die͏go Lopes’s pa͏yout, it’s important to note that, as a͏ re͏lat͏iv͏ely new fighter in the ͏promotion, he has yet to ͏secure a six-figure sal͏ary. His recent payo͏uts were $93,000͏ at UFC 3͏00 and $86,000 at UFC 303. This amount might be a bit more because compliance pay has not been added. Regardless, if we were to assume by looking at these numbers then it must be noted that Lopes has the opportunity to earn the first six-figure income from his fights, so we can look at something around $120000-$150000 as his potential payout.
