Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz top UFC 202’s disclosed payouts by a huge margin

Surprise, surprise motherfuckers. The king is back!

It was a war for the ages and both Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz were paid handsomely for their performances in UFC 202’s main event, as the disclosed fighter payouts for the event show.

It turns out Nate Diaz was right when he said he was the “real money fight” for Conor McGregor. The numbers don’t lie.

We already knew before the event that the headliners would be receiving unprecedented purses, with the sum total of their disclosed earnings coming to a staggering $5 million. They also both banked a further $50,000 for receiving the Fight of the Night accolade.

Anthony Johnson and Donald Cerrone were the only other two fighters to break the $100k mark, earning $270,000 and $170,000 respectively. Both fighters also received the two Performance of the Night bonuses worth 50 Gs apiece.
