Jon Jones ranks third in all-time UFC payouts after UFC 309 victory

Jon Jones earned one of the largest payouts in UFC history after defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, marking his return to the Octagon after 18 months. His purse of $6.29 million ranks third on the all-time list. Conor McGregor remains a dominant figure in fighter payouts, with multiple entries in the top 10. However, he does not hold the top spot, which belongs to Brock Lesnar, who earned $8 million for his fight against Mark Hunt at UFC 200. The updated list highlights the financial rewards for top fighters, with four athletes on the UFC 309 card earning seven-figure sums. This reflects the growing financial stakes in the sport, particularly for high-profile matchups.
