The best UFC fighters around took just half of the wage earned by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2020. Fighters competing in the UFC are not well paid compared to other elite athletes in major sports. The publication states: “UFC's biggest star Conor McGregor was reported to be the world's highest-paid athlete earlier this year, taking home a whopping £136 million between May 2020-21. However, it still finds itself someway off some of the world's biggest sports as the study reveals." He was the third-highest paid sports star on the planet from May 2020 to 2021, making £91million according to the same publication.
