Alex Pereira is a Brazilian MMA superstar, who has quickly became one of the biggest stars in the UFC in the past year or two. Here at SportsCasting, we have decided to take an in-depth look at the career of the two-division UFC champion, ‘Poatan’. This includes his net worth, career earnings and endorsements.
Alex Pereira Net Worth Estimated At $4 Million
Alex Pereira is a two-division UFC champion and one of the biggest names in the sport of MMA right now. Pereira now joins a list of elite fighters who have won the UFC title in two weight division. Now, the Brazilian MMA superstar can be considered as an all-time great.
Here at SportsCasting we have decided to take an in-depth look at Alex Pereira’s net worth, career earnings and sponsorship deals. Alex Pereira’s net worth is estimated to be in the region of $4 million.
The 37-year-old is worth an absolute fortune and is one of the biggest names in the sport of MMA. The Brazilian MMA sensation has won 11 professional fights which includes nine knockouts – six of which have come in the UFC.
The Sports Daily now estimates his net worth to be at least $4 million, based on his lifetime earnings. Pereira has had an outstanding career so far, but could reach even new heights going forward. Should Pereira continue to win via knockout, he could reach #1 pound-for-pound in the UFC imminently.
Ahead of his UFC Light-Heavyweight Title defence at UFC 307, Alex Pereira’s net worth is estimated at $4 million. However, his net worth will likely increase to at least $5 million in post-fight. This is primarily down to the colossal purses he has been earning of late.
Over the last seven years, Pereira’s main source of income has been as a mixed martial artist. However, Pereira also earned a salary as a professional kickboxer from 2012-2021. More about Pereira’s career earnings later in this article.
Pereira’s net worth has also been heavily enhanced through ventures outside of the octagon too. His other main earners outside of MMA come through his various endorsements. Again, more on that later.
Alex Pereira Career Earnings
Ever since Alex Pereira signed for the UFC, he has gradually earned more money as his career has progressed. It is unknown exactly how much ‘Poatan’ made in his first two UFC fights, but he has certainly made some lucrative purses in his last seven fights in the UFC.
In his fight against Sean Strickland at UFC 276, Pereira earned in excess of $244,000. The following fight, his victory over Israel Adesanya, earned ‘Poatan’ $682,000 as well as the UFC Middleweight Title in the process. The rematch earned Pereira $1,197,000 as the champion, despite losing the fight.
The 1987-born MMA star then earned a reported $455k for his light-heavyweight debut victory against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291. When Pereira became a two-division UFC champion at UFC 295, the Brazilian earned just shy of $1.2m for his KO victory over Jiri Prochazka.
The last two fights of Alex Pereira’s career have been by far the biggest earners for the Brazilian. In the main event at UFC 300, Pereira earned just shy of $3m which is the second highest of his career to date. Last time out at UFC 303 in his rematch with Prochazka, Pereira earned a career-high $3,303,000.
Just inside the octagon and in his career as a professional fighter, Alex Pereira has earned a total of $10 million+. This of course includes his earnings prior to joining the UFC – just nine fights ago.
In kickboxing, he was a former Glory middleweight and light heavyweight champion, and was the first and only fighter to have held Glory titles in two weight classes simultaneously. This of course is a huge part of why ‘Poatan’ has earned well over $10 million in his career so far.

Besides his earnings in the UFC, Pereira also earns a lucrative sum of money outside of the octagon too. He has various different sponsors who are on board the Brazilian hype-train, as well as the standard promotional benefits from UFC fight gear of course.
The two-division UFC champion has an NFT partnership with OWNIC. Pereira is an ambassador for Stake, Aviator by SPRIBE and BlockDAG. He is also endorsed by brands such as AthletiCBD, Roobet, Venum and Smilodox.
