Stipe Miocic, the former 2-time heavyweight champion, has been garnering quite a bit of attention for his upcoming legacy bout against Jon Jones this week at UFC 309. Balancing his duties as a firefighter while competing for the UFC gold isn’t something that everyone could do. With his resilience and power, Miocic has now built a multimillion-dollar financial status.

But what exactly is Miocic’s net value? Today, let’s take a deep dive into the former heavyweight champion’s career and find out all about his finances.

How much is Stipe Miocic worth? 

As per ‘Celebrity Net Worth’, ‘Stone Cold’ currently boasts a net worth of $4 million. He began his career as a full-time firefighter and paramedic. Even when he was the heavyweight champion, Miocic continued his duties as a firefighter in his native Ohio, thereby winning the fighting community’s hearts. On top of that, he receives quite a bit of money from brand endorsements, as well.

Back in 2022, the firefighter added yet another occupation to his resume. He became a partner of the Ohio-based Romeo’s Pizza restaurant. With more than 60 locations, the Pizza place further lifted Miocic’s financial status. Talking about his part-ownership, he said, “Pizza makes the world go round. I’ve spent the last 20 years eating at Romeo’s, and to me, it’s the best pizza in Ohio … and the world. “A business endeavor relating to one of my favorite foods is the best opportunity I could ask for.”

Born in Euclid, Ohio, in 1982, the former 2-time UFC champion has come a long way as a professional mixed martial artist. His parents split when he was still a child, and his mother motivated him to take up sports. Be it baseball, football, or wrestling, Miocic did it all. But in 2010, ‘Stone Cold’ decided to land into an MMA cage as a professional, and established himself by defeating Corey Mullis in his debut bout. 

But how much has the Ohio-born mixed martial artist earned from his UFC fights? Let’s find out!

Miocic’s first-ever fight in the cage got him only $2000, despite a win. But his pockets began getting heavier as he traversed to the UFC. His first bout in the promotion was against Joey Beltran at UFC 136, where he received $17000 from the fight, with $5000 coming in from brand sponsorships. Thereafter, the heavyweight’s base salary kept on rising. He hit a peak base salary of $750,000 when he faced Daniel Cormier for the first time at UFC 226. Despite the defeat, Miocic earned an amount just $30,000 short of a million.

His next 2 fights against DC got him well above a million dollars, with $400,000 in PPV buys and $30-$40 thousand in brand sponsorships. Miocic’s last bout against Francis Ngannou thickened his wallet by $1.19 million, despite the unfortunate defeat.
