UFC Fighter Shares Screenshot of His Bank Account as Fans Left Stunned
An active UFC fighter surprised fans by exposing exactly how much money he has in his bank account ahead of Noche UFC.
The Noche UFC event will take place at the Frost Bank Centre, San Antonio, on September 13, with Diego Lopes set to take on Jean Silva in a featherweight bout in the main event of the evening.
Veteran Rob Font will take on Mexican fighter David Martinez, while Jared Gordon – a former opponent of Paddy Pimblett – is also on the card.
Darren Till’s former foe, Kelvin Gastelum, will also be in action when he takes on Dustin Stoltzfus in a middleweight contest.

Further down the card, several other lesser-known fighters will look to capture the headlines in San Antonio – namely Sedriques Dumas.
Dumas, 30, currently boasts a professional mixed martial arts record of 10-3-0 having lost his last UFC bout back in April, suffering a first-round KO loss against Michal Oleksiejczuk.
On September 13, he will look to bounce back with a victory over Zachary Reese, but it is what he’s posted online ahead of the bout that’s got fans talking.
“This is the price of being an adult and paying legal actions and stuff in your life," he posted alongside a graphic of his bank account, relayed by Parry Punch.
“Yeah, all y’all can laugh about it. I’m just giving y’all something to laugh about.”
The graphic showed that Dumas has just $13.96 in his account, and fans were quick to react on social media.
One said: “The fact that this guy has a chance to make money in the UFC still should make him feel beyond blessed.”
Another added: “He’s just a regular mfk like the rest of us, rooting for a W with a bonus.”
A third claimed: “That means he has hunger, that Rocky 1 type shit. My money is on Dumas.”
While a fourth commented: “He's been on borrowed time in the UFC. Makes no sense why he’s still signed.”
Generally, prelim fighters receive a basic purse of between $10,000-$30,000, although there have been some suggestions that debutants receive as little as $4,000.
Fighters can also enhance their earnings through knockout and fight of the night bonuses, which often yield $50,000.
