UFC 311 salaries: Renato Moicano earns more than Islam Makhachev for short-notice main event

The California State Athletic Commission revealed the salaries for the card with MMA Fighting prior to the main event.

Moicano is set to earn $250,000 with no win bonus after he accepted a short-notice opportunity to face Makhachev in the headliner following an injury suffered by Arman Tsarukyan just a day before the card was scheduled to take place. Moicano was originally set to face Beneil Dariush on the card, but now competes in the main event instead and earns a $250,000 payday for the opportunity.

As for Makhachev, he's receiving $200,000 as a flat fee for his fourth consecutive title defense.

As a reminder, salaries made public by the commission are only contracted amounts and do not reflect any off-book bonuses or potential pay-per-view bonuses paid out separately by the UFC.

In the co-main event, UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is set to earn $500,000 for his first title defense as he returns to action after claiming the title this past September with a win over Sean O'Malley.

Meanwhile, Umar Nurmagomedov is taking home $100,000 for his salary with no win bonus attached.

Former UFC light heavyweight champions Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka are both set to earn $200,000 in show money but the fighters have different payouts for win bonuses. Hill earns an additional $200,000 for a win while Prochazka gets $50,000 if he's victorious at UFC 311.
