Originally, UFC 295 had Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic in the main event. Prochazka vs. Pereira was the co-main event. Pavlovich was the backup fighter for the main event. The main event fell off after Jones suffered an injury. The co-main event was made the main event, and Aspinall was brought on to face Pavlocich for the interim heavyweight championship in the co-main event.

The main event of UFC 295 ended in controversy as referee Marc Goddard stopped the fight fairly quickly. This resulted in Alex Pereira being crowned the UFC’s light heavyweight champion. The fight ended in the second round, with the finish coming after Prochazka was badly hurt by Pereira’s signature left hook.

Jiri Prochazka reigned as the light heavyweight champion in 2022 but had to vacate the title due to injury. Champions in the UFC have PPV points on their contract. Prochazka’s base salary is $750,000. This is due to his status as a champion who did not lose his belt. He would also get the PPV share as the headliner, a minimum of $100,000. By including the sponsorship money of $32,000, his total payout for UFC 295 is at least $882,000.

Like Prochazka, Alex Pereira had a short reign as the middleweight champion. He lost the belt in the rematch to Israel Adesanya at UFC 287. He then moved up in weight and defeated former champion Jan Blachowicz to earn the title shot at UFC 295. Pereira’s base salary is $1,000,000. This is due to his status as a former champion and a Glory Kickboxing Hall of Famer. He would also get the PPV share as the headliner, a minimum of $100,000. By also including the sponsorship money of $32,000 and his $50,000 Performance Bonus, his total payout for UFC 295 is at least $1,182,000.

The co-main event fight at UFC 295 was between two of the scariest heavyweights in UFC history, excluding Francis Ngannou and Brock Lesnar. Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich have the UFC’s lowest and second-lowest average fight time. It did not change as the fight ended in 69 seconds in favor of Aspinall.

Aspinall is presumed to get a share of the PPV as they are fighting for the coveted UFC heavyweight championship, albeit interim. Aspinal has a base salary of $500,000 with an additional $500,000 win bonus. He would also get a minimum of $100,000 from PPV sales and $32,000 as sponsorship money. Moreover, he also got a $50,000 performance bonus, which would make his purse for the event at least $1,182,000.

Like Aspinall, Pavlovich is also presumed to get a share of the PPV as they fight for the coveted UFC heavyweight championship, albeit interim. Pavlovich has a base salary of $500,000 with an additional $500,000 win bonus. However, he did not win. He would also get a minimum of $100,000 from PPV sales and $32,000 as sponsorship money.

The main card opener of UFC 295 ended in a stunning finish of Pat Zabatini by Diego Lopes. It was followed by an even more impressive knockout of Matt Frevola by Benoit-Saint Denis. Then, it was the lone women’s fight between former champion Jessica Andrade and Mackenzie Dern in the main card. Andrade got the distinction of being the first and only fighter to finish Mackenzie Dern in professional MMA.

These fighters’ fight purses are considerably lower than the main and co-main event fighters. They would not be getting a share of the PPV sale. Jessica Andrade made a total of $271,000. This includes $100,000 show money, a $100,000 win bonus, a $50,000 Performance Bonus, and $21,000 sponsorship money. Dern made a total of $111,000, of which $11,000 is sponsorship money.
