Firstly, Nevada State Athletic Commission does not release fighter pay, so none of the following payout data for the event is official. However, we can estimate a fighter’s pay info by looking at their previous, officially-released salaries.
Secondly, fight week incentives indicate payments for outfitting requirements, media obligations, and other items under the fighter code of conduct. As such, fighters from UFC Vegas 52 took home a total of $163,000 under UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance.
Last but not least, the following payouts DO NOT include PPV revenue, as this was an ESPN+ event.
