Another decade has flown past us, and it was a financially profitable one for a handful of UFC fighters. They still don’t get paid what they are actually worth, but a few of them made out like bandits, so to speak, in the 2010s. Here is our ranking of the top ten earning UFC fighters of the 10s.

Michael Bisping
2010s Earnings: $6,395,000
End of night performance bonuses: $260,000
Per fight average: $336,579
Top earning fight: $540,000 – UFC 217 (Loss to Georges St-Pierre)
A most unlikely UFC champion, and probably a longshot to make this list at the start of the 10s. But no denying the decade Michael Bisping had – a very, very lucrative one.
#7 – Mark Hunt
#8 – Donald Cerrone
#9 – Daniel Cormier
#10 – Junior dos Santos
