The penultimate UFC pay-per-view of the year certainly delivered with several epic knockouts and incredible fights across the prelims and main card at Madison Square Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event was capped off by Islam Makhachev becoming the latest two-division UFC king, comprehensively defeating Jack Della Maddalena in the main event to win the UFC Welterweight Title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In winning the 170-pound belt, Makhachev became just the 11th fighter in MMA history to win world titles across two weight divisions in the UFC. Conor McGregor was of course the first, with the Dagestani fighter now the latest to add his name to the illustrious list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside Makhachev there were several standout performances at UFC 322. This included knockout wins for Michael Morales, Benoit Saint Denis and Carlos Prates, who each earned <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/ufc-bonuses-explained\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UFC bonuses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for their respective knockouts of Sean Brady, Beneil Dariush and Leon Edwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the aftermath of the epic New York fight card, official UFC 322 purses have been revealed with some eye-catching earnings for multiple fighters. This includes three seven-figure paydays for Makhachev, \u2018JDM\u2019 and Valenti Shevchenko.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A whole host of other fighters earned lucrative purses, as well as four individuals winning a $50,000 \u2018Performance of the Night\u2019 bonus for each of their respective knockouts across the UFC 322 main card and prelims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly the two main event combatants topped the UFC 322 purse list, with women\u2019s flyweight queen Shevchenko the only female on the card to earn over $1million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is a full list of UFC 322 purses and payouts for the 10 fighters that featured on the UFC 322 main card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Official UFC 322 Purses &amp; Fighter Payouts (Main Card)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Islam Makhachev &#8211; $3,332,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack Della Maddalena &#8211; $1,992,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valentina Shevchenko &#8211; $1,392,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhang Weili &#8211; $832,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benoit Saint Denis &#8211; $338,000\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leon Edwards &#8211; $315,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beneil Dariush &#8211; $272,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Morales &#8211; $206,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carlos Prates &#8211; $206,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sean Brady &#8211; $110,000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Islam Makhachev Earns Career-High Payday Thanks To $3,332,000 UFC 322 Purse<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/islam-makhachev-net-worth-career-earnings-endorsements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Islam Makhachev\u2019s net worth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will have increased even further following UFC 322, where the two-division king earned $3,332,000 for his dominant unanimous decision victory over Jack Della Maddalena to win the welterweight belt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was Makhachev\u2019s first fight up at 170-pounds since vacating the lightweight belt, and the Dagestani fighter put in one of the most dominant and one-sided performances of his entire career in his schooling of \u2018JDM\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Makhachev\u2019s UFC 322 purses was not only higher than every other fighter on the entire Madison Square Garden card, but it also marked his own career-high paydays in his 29 MMA fights to date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to UFC 322, Makhachev\u2019s highest payday came at UFC 294 in his rematch with Alexander Volkanovski. The 34-year-old earned $2,542,000 against Volkanovski on that occasion, but has since trumped that with his UFC 322 purse of $3,332,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as being one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/most-followed-ufc-fighters-instagram\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most followed UFC fighters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on social media today, Makhachev is also one of the highest earners on the UFC roster. This is mainly down to his six UFC title fights across the lightweight and welterweight divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what the Russian mauler does next, he could be in for even bigger paydays going forward. Should he face Ilia Topuria in a \u2018double-champ vs double-champ\u2019 showdown at some stage in 2026, he would likely earn upward of $5m at the very least.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now though, Islam Makhachev\u2019s UFC 322 purse of $3,332,000 is the biggest of his career to date.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official UFC 322 purses have been revealed with Islam Makhachev receiving a career-high payday in becoming a two-division UFC champion.
