UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Till Fighter Salaries, Incentive Pay, Attendance & Gate

Despite losing a dubious (hometown?) decision, Stephen Thompson was still one of the top earners at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Till.

Before we go any further, we should note that most international  athletic  commissions  don’t release fighter pay info, so none of the following salary data for the event is official.  However, you can get a fairly accurate picture of a fighter’s pay based on official purse info released from past fights.  So, based on that info, here is the estimated pay breakdown for the 22 fighters that traded blows at the event.  But please remember – this is only an estimate, not official info (especially for Till, who has signed a new contract recently – we’ll update his purse in the future when we see what he earns in upcoming fights)
