UFC Shanghai features a high-stakes bantamweight fight and a co-main event headlined by the women's strawweight division.
Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong meet in a bantamweight clash at UFC Shanghai. Nurmagomedov's elite grappling will be tested against Song's dangerous striking as both look to strengthen their title hopes.
Yan Xiaonan returns to action against Denise Gomes in the UFC Shanghai co-main event. The No. 4 ranked strawweight brings experience and polished striking, while Gomes enters on a four-win fight streak looking to make a statement against a higher-ranked opponent.
The UFC does not disclose fight purse information, but here are estimations based on ranks, previous payouts, and matchups.
Nurmagomedov vs. Song Fight Purse Breakdown
Umar Nurmagomedov's estimated base pay is between $100,000 and $150,000 based on his upper-tier bantamweight status and previous main-card event payouts. His win bonus would most likely match the base show purse if he defeats Song.
Nurmagomedov's highest reported UFC payday is approximately $1,132,000 from his bantamweight title fight against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 311 in January 2025.
Song Yadong is expected to earn a base pay of $160,000 to $165,000 at UFC Shanghai. Song is likely to make a higher base pay than Nurmagomedov because of his longer UFC tenure and promotional draw in China.
If Song defeats Nurmagomedov, he will likely earn a win bonus equal to his base pay. The most Song Yadong has earned from a UFC fight was against Sean O'Malley at UFC 324, taking home an estimated $512,00 despite the loss.
Yan Xiaonan vs. Denise Gomes Fight Purse Breakdown
Yan Xiaonan is expected to earn a base pay of $111,000 to $180,000 for her co-main event.
Yan Xiaonan earned an estimated $290,000 for her title fight against Zhang Weili at UFC 300, which stands as her largest payout despite losing.
Denise Gomes is expected to earn an estimated base pay between $50,000 to $80,000 at UFC Shanghai. The most she has earned from a UFC fight is roughly between $70,000 to $100,000.
