As the dominant UFC Lightweight Champion and p4p superstar, here at SportsLens we have decided to take an in-depth look at the career of Islam Makhachev. This includes his net worth, career earnings and endorsements.
Islam Makhachev Net Worth Estimated At $1 Million
The reigning UFC Lightweight Champion secured a third win in title fights as he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in one round in their main event bout at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi on October 21.
In the aftermath of the bout, SportsLens have taken an in-depth look at Islam Makhachev’s net worth, career earnings and sponsorship deals. The UFC Lightweight Champion’s net worth is estimated to be in the region of $1 million.
The 32-year-old is worth a rather low amount given his credibility in the UFC, but has earned some highly lucrative purses throughout his UFC career. The MMA star boasts an impressive record of 25-1, with his last three bouts being UFC Title victories.
His only loss in the UFC came during his second fight with the organization, losing by knockout to Adriano Martins in 2015. Makhachev was a huge favorite with the best offshore sportsbooks to win, but was surprisingly defeated.
ClutchPoints now estimates his net worth to be at least $1 million, based on his lifetime earnings. Being a close teammate to one of the best fighters in UFC history, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has boosted the Russian’s profile.
Since winning on his UFC debut back in May 2015, Islam Makhachev has earned millions of dollars, which we will go into detail with later. He is an incredibly rich man and won’t be worrying about his bank balance anytime soon, that is for sure.
The 32-year-old’s net worth has seen a huge increase from ventures outside of the UFC cage, as his other main earners outside of MMA are through a variety of endorsements.
