The bantamweight division looks alive with the exciting matches that have been going down at the UFC Abu Dhabi as alongside them, Marlon Vera and Deivson Figueiredo are also going to lock horns against each other.

Well, that’s not all as undefeated Sharaputdin Magomedov comes to action once again to clash against Michal Oleksiejczuk to maintain his validity in the middleweight division.

Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov’s salary at UFC Abu Dhabi

Well, the exact amount that they are going to earn at the event will be known after the clash but estimates showcase the probable earnings of the fighters. If we were to look at the past outings, we could witness that Cory Sandhagen has earned somewhere around $220,000- $320000 for defeating Marlon Vera. If we were to go by these estimates then ‘Sandman’ estimate the payout might be around $150000-$300000.

Unlike Sandhagen, who has revealed his payouts, Umar Nurmagomedov is quite confidential about it. The Dagetsani has not revealed anything about his payouts except the $50000 payout that he disclosed for beating Raoni Barcelos. His estimates are quite difficult to ascertain but he might be earning $100000 from his fight against Sandhagen.

The bantamweight division is on the roll with the ranked clash, the #2nd ranked fighter, Cory Sandhagen will be taking on the #10th ranked fighter, Umar Nurmagomedov. A win for any one of them could mean a potential title run after Merab Dvalishvili gets his hands on champion, Sean O’Malley at UFC Sphere. Regardless, Cordy Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov are about to earn a chuck at the Abu Dhabi clash. Now, that we know about the payouts of Numragomedov and Sandhagen, let us have a closer look at the payouts of other fighters.

How much are Sharaputdin Magomedov, Marlon Vera, and others making at UFC Abu Dhabi?

The co-main of the event will be headlined by Sharaputdin Magomedov, who is riding a 13-fight winning streak in his MMA career. The latest addition to the middleweight division is a fighter who uses much of Muay Thai as his base. ‘Shara Bullet’ fight with Michal Oleksiejczuk will be his third fight under the promotion. The Dagestani in his last bout against Antonio Trocoli has earned $80k, so he might earn around that much in his third fight as well.

However, things change quite drastically when it comes to Marlon Vera and Deiveson Figueiredo. Both fighters are some of the biggest names in the promotion. Vera and Figueiredo earn a massive paycheck whenever they step inside the Octagon. If we were to go by that logic then it would not be wrong to state that both Vera and Figueiredo are going to earn around $100k as their payout and remind you this number can increase after their fight.
