Dana White has done great in marketing his players to the point where they have become international superstars. Islam Makhachev has quickly risen to become one of these stars from the UFC. He has been insanely dominant on the octagon and is also able to do well with brand deals and other sources of income. So, how much has his net worth been since he started fighting?
Everyone had to start somewhere. For Islam Makhachev, it was Sambo before moving into mixed martial arts. He competed in the World Sambo Championships. Eventually, Dana White and the rest of the UFC scouts brought him over. His first bout was up against Leo Kuntz in UFC 187. Makhachev notched that win but experienced his only career loss at UFC 192 after facing Adriano Martins.
Since that loss in his second career match, Makhachev absolutely went nuts. From September of 2016 up to January 2025, he has not lost a single fight. It is also very rare that one of his fights lasts longer than three rounds. If ever the match exceeds that amount of sets, it will surely be a nail-biter where he finishes on top.
Due to all of these triumphs on the octagon and in Sambo, Makhachev has notched quite a pretty penny from career wins. Annually, he earns about $1.5 million. When added to all of the deals he gets outside of the UFC, his total net worth in 2025 is about $6 million. There's something about his dominance that indicates that this streak of winning won't stop yet.
