Rampage Jackson Says Eight Months of Streaming Outpaid 25 Years in MMA

His pivot underscores a broader rethink of fighter pay driven by streaming income alongside expected UFC bonus increases.

Overview

  • During a recent livestream, the 47-year-old said eight months on creator platforms have earned him more than his entire 25-year fighting career.
  • He also said sponsors back him more on his streams and that his clips often draw more views than footage of his past bouts.
  • Jackson said he launched the channel after boxer Deen the Great’s manager urged him to try it, pointing to potential payouts on Kick.
  • On the JAXXON Podcast, he urged the UFC to raise bonuses and floated a $1 million Fight of the Night as new media money enters the sport.
  • Dana White has said bonuses will increase next year following the Paramount+ rights agreement, which reports value at about $7.7 billion.
