He is expected to earn $500,000 for the fight alone, with a further $1 million up for grabs if he wins the fight, his PPV share and money from his various sponsorship deals. The 32-year-old could earn well over $1.5 million for this one fight alone against Jon Jones if indeed he is successful. What an incentive that is!
