Du Plessis & Usman Fight Purse
Dricus Du Plessis and Kamaru Usman's exact purses have not been officially revealed. However, estimates suggest that Du Plessis could earn anywhere between $1 million to $3 million, while Usman is projected to take home between $500,000 and $1 million.
UFC Fight Night events usually offer lower purses than numbered card events, which is factored into the estimated purse for this week.
Du Plessis largest payday is estimated to be $3.34 million from his middleweight defense title at UFC 312 against Sean Strickland. Meanwhile, Usman's highest reported payday came at UFC 261, where he took home $1.5 million after defending his welterweight belt.
With both athletes set to headline UFC Fight Night, the event promises a big payday for both former champions.
