The highly anticipated UFC on ESPN 58 event in Las Vegas delivered thrilling action, with fighters taking home a total of $116,000 under the UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance program. This initiative, which replaced the previous Athlete Outfitting Policy, encompasses outfitting requirements, media obligations, and other items under the fighter code of conduct.

Tatsuro Taira emerged victorious against Alex Perez, earning $6,000, while Perez took home $11,000. In another notable bout, Miles Johns defeated Douglas Silva de Andrade, with both fighters securing $6,000 and $11,000 respectively.
"The compliance program ensures fighters are compensated based on their UFC bouts, Zuffa-era WEC fights, and Zuffa-era Strikeforce bouts," stated a UFC official.
Lucas Almeida, Brady Hiestand, and Asu Almabayev also showcased their skills, with each fighter earning between $4,000 and $4,500. The card, aired on ESPN and streamed on ESPN+, featured a mix of seasoned fighters and rising stars.
Breakdown of Payouts
The payout structure under the UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance program is tiered based on the number of fights a competitor has had. Fighters with 1-3 bouts receive $4,000 per appearance, while those with 4-5 bouts get $4,580. More experienced fighters, with 6-10 bouts, earn $6,000, and those with 11-15 bouts pocket $11,000. Champions and title challengers receive $58,000.
Historical Context and Future Prospects
This event's total payout of $116,000 is part of the broader 2024 UFC Promotional Guidelines Compliance payouts, which have reached $3,451,000 year-to-date. The program has distributed $26,188,000 since its inception, supporting fighters financially while maintaining strict compliance standards.
