Daniel cormier net worth: how much is ufc 230 star worth?

Daniel Cormier returns to the Octagon this weekend for the second time in five months. The Louisiana native will defend his heavyweight crown against the dangerous Derrick Lewis in the main

event of UFC 230, which takes place at Madison Square Garden early on Sunday morning. Cormier goes into the bout fresh off his first-round demolition job of Stipe Miocic, which saw him claim

the heavyweight strap and significantly increase his financial muscle. Cormier's exact net worth is difficult to gauge as he's fought under several athletic commissions who

don't release fighters' purses. UFC 230 FIGHT CARD AND START TIME - HOW TO WATCH UFC 230 ONLINE AND ON TV However, his last three fights have brought him the biggest paydays of his

career. Cormier's championship-clinching victory over Miocic in July saw him pocket a cool £387,000 ($500,000). The 39-year-old also earned the same sum for his UFC 220 victory over

Volkan Oezdemir in January. Cormier earned the biggest pay cheque of his career last July at UFC 214, where he took on his bitter rival Jon Jones. The new fan-favourite suffered a

devastating third-round KO loss to his arch nemesis but earned a staggering £774,000 ($1million) for his efforts. It has been rumoured that the NCAA All-American's worth is around

£3.1million ($4million). Whatever Cormier's financial worth currently stands at, it will increase this weekend even if he loses to Lewis. And should he get past 'The Black

Beast', it will skyrocket when he takes on WWE star and former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, who he clashed with after beating Miocic. UFC 230 RESULTS - ALL THE ACTION AND REACTION
