Dagestan’s 205-pound ace Magomed Ankalaev recently caught the attention of the whole fight community when he revealed the hardships he’s been through during his younger years. After his father passed away, he assumed the role of the man of the family and that too, at a very tender age. However, the loss of a family member and taking up responsibilities didn’t hold Ankalaev back from achieving one half of his dream – becoming a top MMA fighter.

Meanwhile, the other half of his dream is to win the title this weekend against Alex Pereira at UFC 313. Even if Magomed Ankalaev hasn’t been champion yet, he’s still one of the toughest fighters Dana White’s got on his roster. After many dominating performances, the 32-year-old has established himself to be in the top echelon in the UFC, which might make fans wonder about how much money he makes in 2025. Well, let’s find out.

Magomed Ankalaev’s 2025 net worth and endorsements

Magomed Ankalaev may not be as big of a star as his Brazilian counterpart Alex Perera, but sources claim that he’s in the million-dollar club. Yes, since the 32-year-old started his fighting career on a professional level, his net worth has jumped up to around $1 million. However, different sources have shared different figures regarding Ankalaev’s net worth, as the UFC News X account, in 2022, claimed the figure was around $1.2 million.

UFC fighters, who become top contenders, often have endorsement and sponsorship deals. But guess what? It doesn’t look like Magomed Ankalaev has any deals with any brands. The only possible sponsorship money he could earn is from the UFC for his fight gear. Now that we’ve established the information on his net worth, let’s take a peek at the details of the money he’s made from his UFC fights.

How much does Magomed Ankalaev earn? UFC payouts

According to reports, Magomed Ankalaev has never touched the million-dollar mark when it comes to his UFC payouts. The most he’s ever made from a single fight was in his recent one against Aleksandar Rakic, as he took home $156,000, including bonuses. The next big paycheck that Ankalaev earned in his run in Dana White’s promotion was in his first title fight against Jan Blachowicz. The 32-year-old earned a sum of $132,000, according to certain sources.

Seeing that Magomed Ankalaev has earned big last time when he fought for the light heavyweight title last time, his payout could be even higher this weekend at UFC 313 in his second title fight. Moreover, a win over Alex Pereira could help him make more money than he ever has while fighting in the UFC. But things may not be as easy as he hopes to be given that ‘Poatan’ doesn’t seem to be rattled about fighting Ankalaev.

Magomed Ankalaev might have to wait for a few more years if he cannot take Alex Pereira this weekend and win the title. In the meantime, let us know if you think the champ retains the belt or finally drops it after a fantastic run as the king of the light heavyweights. Drop your comments below.
