Ronda Rousey Ranks Top Of UFC’s All-Time Highest Paydays For A Single Fight

UFC legend Ronda Rousey has beaten Brock Lesnar for the biggest individual payday from a single UFC fight in history, according to TheRichest.

The 32-year-old former MMA superstar had eight fights with UFC during her three-year career with the MMA promotion.

And Rousey, who signed for WWE and is currently on hiatus with the wrestling promotion, reportedly earned a whopping $3m in her fight against Amanda Nunes in 2016.

WWE superstar Lesnar finished behind her in second place with his $2.5m salary from his clash with Mark Hunt.

SPORTbible previously reported that the 'Beast,' 42, earned over a whopping $5m with UFC after his full fight earnings were recently revealed.

Behind Rousey and Lesnar is none other than UFC legend Georges St-Pierre, who walked away with a $2.5m payday from his UFC 217 bout against Michael Bisping.

Posted below are TheRichest's top ten individual paydays in UFC history.

And the 31-year-old UFC lightweight champ took home $2m after his victory over McGregor at UFC 229.

Speaking of McGregor, the Irish MMA superstar took home bragging rights for UFC's top 20 all-time highest-paid fighters after comfortably beating UFC legends Bisping and 'GSP' to the top spot.
