Masvidal’s journey in the UFC began with a mere pay of $60,000. Yet, with his skills and ability to keep the fans wide-eyed, his salary soon totaled $5.5 million in his entire career in the MMA world. As mentioned earlier, it was UFC 251, where the fighter was handed down his heaviest-ever paycheck. In the first fight against Usman, Masvidal received a sum of $530,000. When he faced ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ for a second time, with the UFC welterweight championship belt on the line, he bagged a couple of thousand dollars extra. Masvidal’s most iconic win over Ben Askren earned him only $247,000. In his battle against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, he earned only $191,000. 

But this list barely makes the cut without the iconic bout against Nate Diaz. The duo faced each other at UFC 244 and fought for the BMF belt. ‘Gamebred’ left no stones unturned as he claimed the victory, wore the BMF belt, and earned $270,000. Now, ‘Gamebred’ gets ready to fight ‘The Stockton Slugger,’ wherein, he is expected to pocket an amount that can rise higher than $500,000.
