Kevin Holland Payout at UFC 302: How Much Is He Earning Against Michal Oleksiejczuk?

The upcoming UFC 302 has the entire world on the edge of their seats with exciting bouts like Sean Strickland fighting Paulo Costa for the co-main event and Islam Makhachev facing Dustin Poirier for the title fight. But the other fights are also quite exciting. One such fight is the one between Kevin Holland and Michal Oleksiejczuk. Both fighters are looking to end their losing streaks at UFC 302. And they would certainly earn quite a bit of money from their upcoming fight.

Are you wondering how much Holland will earn at UFC 302? Being one of Dana White’s star contenders, he has earned his way into the world of millionaires. Let’s shine some light on the fighter’s previous payouts.

How much money does Kevin Holland make per fight and what is his net worth?

Without a doubt, the MMA promotion pays Holland pretty handsomely. In his last fight against Michael Page at UFC 299, Holland lost the bout via decision. Despite the loss, he ensured his wallet was fat. As per reports, the American fighter had earned a lump sum of $171,000. His base salary was $150,000, while he received another $21,000 from his sponsorships. If only he could have won the fight, he would have won another $150,000 victory bonus. 

Although the earnings from his last fight were indeed humongous, this wasn’t the fight that got him paid the most. It was the bout against Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 287 that handed him a hefty bonus for clenching the victory. He got $150,000 each as his base salary and the win bonus. After the addition of the sponsorship money of $16,000, Holland earned a sum of $316,000 for his performance at UFC 287. 

With a 6-figure guarantee of $100,000 from each fight, Holland is indeed one of the few well-paid fighters. His fight at UFC 291 against Michael Chiesa, however, got him way more than what was guaranteed. He earned a whopping $356,000 in the fight, half of which was just to show up and the rest for winning the fight. This was, in fact, arguably the highest amount Holland has received from the UFC.

Holland has an estimated net worth of around $1 million US dollars. Undoubtedly, the fighter’s pay scale has increased with endorsements by companies like Hayabusa Combat, Jimmy Bars, Rule One Proteins, MyBookie, and Beer Roofing and Remodeling. With his impressive career, the fighter has reportedly earned about $1.48 million in the UFC career.

Now, let’s look at Holland’s earnings for the UFC 302 bout.

How much is Kevin Holland earning at UFC 302 against Michal Oleksiejczuk?

With the trend that is going around, the fighter is sure to get his hands on a boatload of cash. Holland will probably get around $150,000 to $200,000 to show up for the fight. But if he wins, he will double his fortune. With his sponsorships and endorsements, we can expect his wallet to puff up with $50,000 more cash. And how can we forget the PPV money? He might take home about half a million with a win in the bout against Oleksiejczuk. 

The ‘Trailblazer’ would be amongst the handful of fighters whose purse has a chance to go beyond the mark of $500,000. But if he loses, the fighter can expect to receive somewhere around $200,000 to $250,000. And that excludes the PPV money. Without a doubt, this amount is sure to raise the bars inside the Octagon. But whether Holland will take home $500,000 or $250,000 is something that only time can tell.

With the date for his fight against Oleksiejczuk right around the corner, the hype is quite high. Whether it would be Holland to claim the win or Oleksiejczuk, the fight fans will surely witness a phenomenal fight. Do you think Kevin Holland would get half a million dollars at UFC 302?
