Since the UFC 300 event is yet to happen, we cannot officially confirm the exact payout of the UFC light heavyweight champ. However, we can get an idea about the same by assessing his previous UFC payouts.
According to MMASalaries, Pereira earned $1,197,000 in his last fight against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295. This figure reflects his PPV share, show money, win bonus, and by extension, his star power. In his UFC 291 battle against Jan Blachowicz, ‘Poatan’ made somewhere around $455,000.

In his first and only (unsuccessful) title defense (against Israel Adesanya at UFC 287), Pereira earned $1,767,000. This is also his highest UFC payout yet. In his first PPV main event at UFC 281 against ‘Izzy,’ UFC handed the Brazilian fighter a paycheck of $682,000 for his title-winning performance.
As Pereira is going to headline UFC’s biggest event of recent times, we can surely expect a payout higher than all of his past ones. Depending on the PPV bonuses and base salaries, Dana White might pay the former GLORY kickboxing champ anywhere around $2,000,000. This makes one wonder what the UFC star’s contact will be like.
