The highly anticipated UFC 305 is just around the corner, and the fans are super excited about it. The UFC bandwagon now moves to Perth, Australia, to feature some of the best in the business. One of the biggest attractions of the night is the lightweight clash between Dan Hooker and Mateusz Gamrot.

The lightweight division is filled with some outstanding fighters, and these two sit right at the top. Both Hooker and Gamrot are going through a dream run in the division and will look to keep their winning momentum going. So, as they prepare themselves for their next clash, let us quench our curiosity on their salaries and payouts.

How much is Dan Hooker making at UFC 305?

34-year-old Dan Hooker is currently the #11 ranked lightweight in the division, and a win against Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 305 would certainly solidify his position among the top 10. His recent form inside the Octagon has been nothing short of outstanding. ‘The Hangman’ is unbeaten in his last two fights, with his recent victory coming against Jalin Turner at UFC 290. The 34-year-old won the fight via decision and displayed great control and conditioning in the fight. He also walked with a hefty amount of $3,36,000 (sponsorship $16,000, win a bonus $160,000, and base salary $160,000). However, this time things might be a bit different for the lightweight fighter.

Hooker is expected to come out all guns blazing in his upcoming fight at UFC 305. Not only does he want to make a statement in the division, but also has his eyes on the impressive purse. The 34-year-old is expected to bang an impressive $350k as a guaranteed purse. However, it just doesn’t end there he is also entitled to an additional $21k from his sponsors as well. The #11 ranked lightweight is desperate to get a title shot in the division next and even showed his willingness to take on Charles Oliveira next. His confession back in June, “You can officially kiss my *ss I’m fighting Charlie olives, drew considerable attention from many. However, the 34-year-old later went on to clarify that it was just out of fun.

Although he is not facing the Brazilian, his next opponent is no pushover. The Polish fighter is a real threat inside the Octagon and seems to be a man on a mission. But how much will he be making at UFC 305? Let us find out about it below.

Is Mateusz Gamrot making more than his last fight at UFC 305?

Winning a fight in the UFC comes with its own share of advantages. Not only do the fighters inch closer to a title shot, they all go back home with good finances. As a professional fighter, it’s tough to keep on fighting after a certain period. As a result, most of them push themselves to their prime. Mateusz Gamrot is currently at his peak and is looking to walk past all of his opponents. He is unbeaten in his last three fights and is looking to keep his winning momentum going.

His light clash at UFC 299 against Rafael Dos Anjos ended via decision. Gamrot not only walked away with a win but also earned $200,000 as a base salary. He also earned $21,000 via sponsorship but failed to win any performance bonus. However, this time round the 33-year-old will take on Hooker for a purse of $110,000. Adding to this there will be an additional $11k sponsor wages. While there is a monetary benefit in the clash, both fighters will be more keen on winning the fight. A win for any of the fighters will get them a bit close to a title shot.

With not much to choose between the pair, fans can expect nothing but fireworks when they clash at UFC 305. Who are you rooting for at UFC 305? Let us know in the comments below.
