Anywhere from 150 per fight to over million. It all depends on which events you fight in, who your coach is, if your coach have any tie, do you get percent of PPV pay? Who is your sponsor?

For example I know Sean Sherk isn't exactly successful fighter. He work full time and still have difficult time to make end meeting. I'm sure jeremy Horn isn't exactly doing well with his MMA career. Last article I read on him about a year ago stated he's still trying to come up with moneys to buy a house. On other hand look at Yamamoto "Kid" he fought less 20 time in his entire career and he's already millionaire before he even turn 30. Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture already made over a million in their career.

So if you're thinking about MMA as a career, I strongly suggest you to get some education or trades training first. There's already hundered of thousands or even million people out there who want to be a big name fighter. Many of them are talented, but only very small percent make enough to live on comfortly.

Depends on the fighter. I heard that in the UFC fighters get an amount just for showing up and then the winner gets an amount for winning. If you're a big enough name, you get a percentage of PPV and the gate as well. Liddel got $2.5 mill and Tito got $1.5 mill for the last fight.
