UFC 311 is stacked, to say the least, with two highly anticipated title fights and a light heavyweight battle between two former champions. Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka are trying to get back in the front of the line for a title shot against Alex Pereira, and their fight this weekend has huge implications on their route back to glory. Moreover, it’s also safe to assume that they’ll be pocketing a significant payout as well.

It’s no secret that winning a championship alone doesn’t pay bills; the payout from winning massively does. As big as this promotion has become, the UFC has also set the standard for big-time payouts in mixed martial arts. So let’s not waste too much time and see how much the duo of former 205-pound champions will add to their bank accounts this weekend.

How much is Jiri Prochazka’s UFC 311 salary/purse?

The first ex-champ in focus, Jiri Prochazka, has just been in the UFC for almost half a decade now and is already a pretty popular figure in the promotion. Known for his unique Samurai-esque lifestyle, the Czech Republic native is vastly experienced and has made some big bucks in Dana White‘s promotion in a relatively short amount of time.

Certain reports claim that Prochazka touched the million-dollar mark only once, and he bagged that one when the butted heads against Alex Pereira in their second outing, pocketing an estimated sum of $1,382,000, and guess what? ‘Poatan’ appears to be his lucky charm because  Jiri Prochazka reportedly took home an estimated $782,000 for his first fight and over $1 million .

The self-proclaimed Samurai scored another $700,000+ payout for his UFC 300 clash against Aleksandar Rakić. So if we do the math for an estimation, Jiri Prochazka could go home after UFC 311 with $700,000 to up to a million for his first fight of 2025. Now, let’s move over and take a look at how things have been for his opponent when it comes to finances.

How much is Jamahal Hill’s UFC 311 salary/purse?

Jamahal Hill recently blasted lightweight veteran Michael Johnson for siding with Alex Pereira on the issue regarding their recent UFC PI altercation. His response involved a jibe at his financial position. “I’ve made more money than you,” Hill stated. But is that true, though? Well, it appears that the 33-year-old has made some good money, but his payouts are a tad bit lower than Jiri Prochazka’s.

According to reports and statistics available on Jamahal Hill’s salary, he has never touched the million-dollar mark in his UFC run so far. He also debuted in the same year as Jiri Prohazka in 2020 (excluding his DWCS fight a year prior), and the biggest payout he received was when he fought the legend Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 when he made an estimated $582,000. at UFC 300. For the next big payout, the Grand Rapids native took on Alex Pereira UFC 300, and that night he took home around $532,000. So, the estimated payout for his fight this weekend could be around $500,000 to $600,000.

All these payouts include sponsorship earnings and bonuses where they’re applicable. By the above data, we can assume that both fighters will at least take home half a million after their fight, but who will win to reach one step closer to the title?
