After producing an unforgettable event in Australia, the UFC heads to the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC Vegas 96 features Jared Cannonier vs. Caio Borralho as the main event in the middleweight bout. Fans will also watch Angela Hill take on Tabatha Ricci in a women’s strawweight bout on August 24. This fight night is shaping up to be a big event, with substantial purses expected for the fighters.
Jared Cannonier has a record of 17 wins and 7 losses. According to MMA Salaries, Cannonier’s largest payout came from his fight against Israel Adesanya at UFC 276, where ‘Killa Gorilla’ earned $282,000. For this upcoming fight, he is expected to earn a similar amount to what he made against Adesanya. His estimated total net worth is between $500k and $1 million.
Caio Borralho remains undefeated in the UFC, but this fight is particularly crucial for him as it marks his first main event. However, ‘The Natural’s’ earnings haven’t been disclosed yet. As this is a high-profile fight, fans can expect his payout to be somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000.
Additionally, both fighters have the opportunity to boost their earnings through bonuses. The UFC typically awards bonus money of $50,000 to fighters who deliver extraordinary performances. Given this fight’s anticipation, it’s expected to bring plenty of action this weekend.
