Alex Pereira Career Earnings
Ever since Alex Pereira signed for the UFC, he has gradually earned more money as his career has progressed. It is unknown exactly how much ‘Poatan’ made in his first four UFC fights, but he has certainly made some lucrative purses in his last five fights in the UFC.
For his middleweight bout at UFC 261 in November 2021, Pereira made a total of $154,000 for his knockout win over Andreas Michailidis. For his next fight against Bruno Silva, the Brazilian MMA superstar earned somewhere in the region of $104,000.
In his fight against Sean Strickland at UFC 276, Pereira earned in excess of $244,000. The biggest purse of Pereira’s career of course came in his last fight when he lost to Israel Adesanya in their rematch for the UFC Middleweight Title at UFC 287.
The 1987-born MMA star is said to have earned an estimated $1.2 million for his fight last April against ‘The Last Stylebender’. Pereira also earned a reported $455k for his light-heavyweight debut victory against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291. When Pereira became a two-division UFC champion at UFC 295, the Brazilian earned just over $500k for his KO victory over Jiri Prochazka.
Just inside the octagon and in his career as a professional fighter, Alex Pereira has earned a total of $5.8 million according to theufcnews.com. This of course includes his earnings prior to joining the UFC.
In kickboxing, he was a former Glory middleweight and light heavyweight champion, and was the first and only fighter to have held Glory titles in two weight classes simultaneously. This of course is a huge part of why ‘Poatan’ has earned just short of $6 million in his career so far.

The fighting pride of Brazil was paid an estimated $1.2 million for the fight in total.
