UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs Rozenstruik will be live from Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday night. In this article, we’ll go over the UFC fighter pay, salary, and payouts for the UFC Vegas 56 card this weekend.
UFC Vegas 56 takes place Saturday, June 4th from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is headlined by a UFC heavyweight tilt between former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov, as he takes on No. 8 ranked UFC heavyweight, Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
Volkov is coming off a loss at UFC London back in March but is bouncing back with a quick two-month turnaround to attempt to get back into the win column against the Surinamese mixed martial artist and former kickboxer, Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
Volkov is estimated to make just over $90,000 for his appearance at UFC Vegas 56.
