Okay, so I wanted to figure out the payouts for UFC 303. It’s a big event, and I was curious about how much these fighters were making. I’ve always wondered about this, so I decided to finally do some digging.

My Little Research Project
First, I fired up my trusty old laptop. I mean, this thing is ancient, but it still works! I opened up my browser and went straight to Google. My usual starting point for anything, really.
I typed in “UFC 303 purse” and hit enter. A bunch of stuff popped up, but a lot of it was just speculation and guesses from random websites. You know how it is, tons of “maybes” and “could bes” and not much concrete information. I scrolled through a few pages, but I wasn’t really finding what I wanted.
Then, I remembered that sometimes the athletic commissions release official payout information. So I tried searching for “UFC 303 official payouts” and “Nevada State Athletic Commission payouts” (since the fight was in Vegas). That seemed like a better approach.
I clicked around on a few more sites. Some of them had bits and pieces, but nothing complete. It was kind of frustrating, to be honest. I was starting to think this information was just super secret or something. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack!
Finally, after what felt like forever, I decided to try and change my search words, because I wasn’t getting the right result. It wasn’t perfect, but it’s the best I could do for now. Hopefully, more concrete info will come out later!
