Headlining the card is a crucial middleweight clash between former ONE Championship double champion Reinier de Ridder and rising contender Brendan Allen. Both men are known for their slick submission skills and aggressive grappling, promising a main event that could have major implications for the division’s future.

The rest of the card is stacked with fan-friendly matchups and plenty of Canadian flavor. Seven homegrown fighters are set to compete, including Mike Malott, Aiemann Zahabi, and Charles Jourdain, all looking to deliver memorable performances in front of a fired-up hometown crowd.

Reinier de Ridder and Brendan Allen estimated payouts

Reinier de Ridder and Brendan Allen are set for a high-stakes clash at UFC Vancouver, with both middleweights eyeing not just a statement win but major financial rewards.

De Ridder, riding a 4-0 UFC streak, has seen his stock and earnings soar throughout 2025. The former ONE Championship double champ earned $210,000 for his win over Kevin Holland at UFC 311 and a career-best $300,000 after defeating Robert Whittaker at UFC Abu Dhabi. A fifth straight victory could reportedly push his UFC Vancouver payout close to $400,000.

Brendan Allen, stepping in on short notice to replace Anthony Hernandez, stands to gain significantly too. The Louisiana native earned around $210,000 for his fight with Hernandez at UFC Seattle and approximately $312,000 for his win over Marvin Vettori at UFC 318. A win over the undefeated De Ridder could boost Allen’s earnings to an estimated $350,000 on fight night.

UFC Vancouver’s other main card payouts

In the co-main event, Kevin Holland remains one of the UFC’s most active and highest-earning welterweights. The American is expected to earn a total payout near $470,000, combining his $190,000 base purse, a matching win bonus, and a $50,000 performance incentive if awarded.

His opponent, Mike Malott, continues his rise as Canada’s hometown favorite and could earn up to $120,000, including potential bonus pay and sponsorship incentives.​

Former title contender Marlon Vera is among the highest earners on the card, bringing in an estimated $320,000 with base and win bonuses of $125,000 each.

Canadian talent Aiemann Zahabi is projected to receive around $130,000, factoring in $35,000 base and win bonuses, along with a potential $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus.​

Top flyweight Manon Fiorot and local favorite Jasmine Jasudavicius are expected to earn $180,000 and $115,000, respectively. Cody Gibson, Aoriqileng, Kyle Nelson, and Matt Frevola round out the card with estimated totals ranging from $93,000 to $135,000, depending on results and bonuses.​
