UFC 298 salaries: Ian Garry's surprisingly low pay revealed

The UFC 298 salaries have been revealed and there's a few shockers.

The highest-paid fight is UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, who is making a flat $750,000 for his fight with Ilia Topuriawho is making a respectable $350,000.

The lowest paid fighters are several of the debuting fighters who are making $10,000 to show and another $10,000 if they win. One of those fighters is Welsh stand-out Oban Elliott.

But probably the biggest shocker is how little Ian Garry is making, considering what a big star he says he is. Garry is making just $55,000 to show and another $55,00 to win. His opponent, Geoff Neal is making almost double that at $108,000 to show and another $108,000 to win. But Garry is also making less than heavyweight Marcos Rogério de Lima ($100,000). He is also making less than all four women on the card. Andrea Lee is making $70,000/$70,000 and Miranda Maverick is making $75,000/$75,000. Mackenzie Dern is sittng at $200,000/$100,000 and Amanda Lemos is making $80,000/$80,000.

Garry has always been considered a polarizing fighter, which seemingly draws in views. But this salary seems unusually low if what he touts about himself is true.
