UFC 332 compliance pay totaled $299,500 across 28 fighters, and in 8 of the 14 fights the loser received the bigger check. The reason is the formula: UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance pay is set by how many UFC fights a fighter has had, not by who won.
How UFC Compliance Pay Works
Compliance pay is a separate payment from show and win purses (see how much UFC fighters make and our UFC fighter pay breakdown). Per the published schedule, it is based on total UFC bouts, plus Zuffa-era WEC fights from January 2007 and Strikeforce fights from April 2011:
- 1–3 bouts: $4,000 per appearance (the same tier as a UFC debut)
- 4–5 bouts: $4,500
- 6–10 bouts: $6,000
- 11–15 bouts: $11,000
- 16–20 bouts: $16,000
- 21+ bouts: $21,000
- Champions: $42,000
- Title challengers: $32,000

Where the Loser Out-Earned the Winner
Because pay follows tenure, winners with fewer UFC fights often took home less than the veterans they beat. The loser received more in 8 of 14 fights, the winner received more in 4, and 2 were equal (Silva vs. Wang and Wint vs. Armand). The largest gaps:
- Eric Nolan $4,000, Court McGee $21,000: McGee, who lost, earned $17,000 more.
- Payton Talbott $6,000, Deiveson Figueiredo $21,000: a $15,000 gap in the loser’s favor.
- Esteban Ribovics $6,000, King Green $21,000: also $15,000, after Ribovics won.
- Ismail Naurdiev $6,000, Marvin Vettori $16,000: a $10,000 gap.
- Roberto Soldic $4,000, Khaos Williams $11,000: a $7,000 gap.
This is not a judgment on any fighter. It shows that the UFC’s bonus structure rewards longevity, not winning, which is why a debut-era winner can earn a fraction of what the veteran across the cage did.
What This Does Not Tell You
Compliance pay is only part of a fighter’s total. Show and win purses are not public for this card, because Utah does not release them the way California does (see which states disclose UFC fighter pay). On a card held in California, like UFC 331, the purses were published; see Pantoja vs. Van. At least one outlet circulated UFC 332 purse figures sourced to a social media post rather than a commission report; we have not verified them and do not use them here.
The Bottom Line
UFC 332 compliance pay totaled $299,500. In 8 of 14 fights the loser was paid more, because the formula rewards how many UFC fights a fighter has had, not whether they won. It is the one part of UFC 332 pay with exact, published numbers.
