Della Maddalena enters as a champion attempting to make the first defense of his welterweight throne. According to Tapology estimates, his total disclosed earnings before UFC 315 were roughly $320,000. His projected purse for that event against Belal Muhammad sat between $350,000 and $450,000, according to Marca.
Makhachev, meanwhile, begins his welterweight chapter with a bold push toward the top as he looks to seize the throne in his first fight. His disclosed purse for UFC 311 against Moicano was $250,000, but a report from MMA Salaries estimated his total compensation at more than $1.8 million with bonuses and PPV shares included. It goes without saying that Makhachev will be one of the highest-paid fighters on the card.
In the co-main event, two of the pound-for-pound best in women's fighting square off in a clash for the ages. Shevchenko has consistently earned high six-figure payouts across her championship run, with figures documented across multiple Nevada commission reports.
She earned a reported base purse of $500000 for her third fight against Alexa Grasso, and with bonuses and PPV points, her total payout could climb to $1 million. Zhang’s biggest earning includes her payout for UFC 312, where she pocketed approximately $2,542,000.
Sean Brady’s last noted payout, as estimated by The SportsRush, was around $80,000 for UFC Vegas 97. Leon Edwards broke the million mark against Colby Covington at UFC 296 with an estimated total above $1,042,000, according to disclosed numbers and PPV projections reported by Bloody Elbow.
Prates earned more than $115,000 at UFC 305, a figure confirmed by reporting on his $65,000 base pay and $50,000 bonus. Dariush and Moicano had undisclosed UFC 311 payouts, though salary trackers noted both received show and win money when Tsarukyan withdrew.
