UFC 303 was supposed to go with Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler. However, ‘The Notorious’ injured his toe before the fight and it was on the same leg that needed surgery after the Dustin Poirier fight. The event will now see Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka, in a light heavyweight rematch as the main card. However, there is another battle that deserves a mention and it is the women’s bantamweight clash between Mayra Bueno Silva and Macy Chiasson.

This division is going through a transition, and in the wake of Amanda Nunes retiring, these two epic fighters will try to take the title shot. So, let’s see how much is at stake and what will they be paid.

What is Mayra Bueno Silva’s payout at UFC 303?

The Brazilian MMA star competes in the bantamweight division and is in the 3rd ranking. Her UFC debut was in 2018 and she compiled a record of 10-3-1 with 7 wins by submission. The 32-year-old has an estimated net worth of over $200,000. Her approximate salary is $48,000 and according to 2024 records, she earns most of her money from UFC and sponsorship deals. She earned $151,000 approximately in her win with Lina Lansberg in Vegas.

Bueno Silva is a dangerous grappler and her four-fight unbeaten streak from 2022 to 2023 is one of the most amazing moments in UFC women’s bantamweight history. She declared herself to be the best in the world and as per the previous payouts, she will have a base salary of $75,000 along with sponsorship money and bonuses if she wins.

Silva also declared that she was the best bantamweight champ compared to Raquel Pennington, even after losing to her opponent. Meanwhile, there also seems to be an ongoing feud already heading up to the match as Chiasson said that Silva was “kind of a mess.” However, she did add, “Just like I’ve been watching in all of her fights, her first round, first few rounds, are really exhilarating,” while speaking to the press during the UFC 303 press conference.

Speaking of Sliva’s opponent’s payout, Macey Chiasson might get a bit more than her opponent as her base salary stands at $85k. 

Comparing Macy Chiasson’s salary to her UFC career earnings

Chiasson will earn more than Silva considering her base salary is more for UFC 303. She is 5’11 and with a 72″ reach, the former featherweight is one of the biggest fighters in the women’s bantamweight category. Her height and size are one of her biggest advantages and she plummets her opponents to the ground. The American earned over $130,000 in her career as a salary according to Tapology. 

She is coming off a win in her latest fight against Pannie Kianzad with a rear naked choke in the first round. Now this win in UFC 303 might give her a solid chance to become the top title contender. Chiasson will require nothing more than to make the fight as deadly and brutal as possible and her agility on the feet might help with this. The male fighters are estimated to have a pay between $200,000 to $50,0000. However, Pereira might get $1.132.000 and Prochazka might receive $552,000.
