UFC 283 Bonuses | UFC Payouts
Much like other events, UFC bonuses of $50,000 are given out. Both fighters in the Fight of the Night get a greater UFC payout, as two fighters get a Performance of the Night bonus. Of course, as with everything that occurs in the UFC, Dana White has the ability to do what he wants, as shown by the extra UFC bonuses we saw in the last PPV.
These are the UFC 283 bonuses, awarding each fighter with an extra $50,000.
Fight of the Night: Glover Teixeira vs Jamahal Hill
With two fantastic fights to end the card, both were worthy to win UFC 283 Fight of the Night. However, in the end, Glover Teixeira vs Jamahal Hill for the Light Heavyweight Championship gets the recognition, with each fighter getting a bonus $50,000.
It was unexpected that these two would go a full five rounds, but that is exactly what they did. On top of that, Teixeira fought to the bitter end, showing there was no quit in the man. That became a bit ironic, however, as Glover Teixeira announced his retirement following the fight.
Performance Bonuses: Ismael Bonfim and Jailton Almeida
Ismael Bonfim ended his fight against Terrance McKinney mid-second round with an incredible flying knee.
Jailton Almeida won by knockout as well, finishing Shamil Abdurakhimov with punches on the ground.
UFC 283 Promotional Guidelines Compliance Pay
Finally, we also have UFC 274 Promotional Guidelines Compliance pay. This program includes media obligations, outfitting requirements and other code of conduct factors.

How Much Did Deiveson Figueiredo Make? | Salary From UFC 283
In the co-main event of the night, Brandon Moreno came out aggressive, but Deiveson Figueiredo was able to get back to his feet and keep the fight relatively even for the next couple of rounds, until Moreno split the eye of the champ in Round 3. The eye was fully closed heading into Round 4, causing the doctors to call the fight off.
The stoppage seems to be a lackluster finish to a four-fight series between two great fighters. However, after the loss to Moreno, many are asking how much did Deiveson Figueiredo get paid.
Deiveson Figueiredo is coming away from UFC 283 with a very large payday. In fact, it appears he knew he would make well over a million dollars in UFC 283 payouts and bonuses regardless of the outcome. Figueiredo should make over a million dollars between his salary and cut from the PPV revenue. He also receives $42,000 from the UFC 283 Promotional Guidelines Compliance Pay and more from sponsorship money.
As always, the official numbers will not be officially known, but these UFC payouts from UFC 283 on Saturday are a strong estimation.
