Johnny Eblen Net Worth and Salary
Johnny Eblen, an MMA fighter, reportedly has a net worth of $800,000. Eblen previously played for Bellator, however, the MMA organization was taken over by another MMA promotional business, the PFL. Earlier this year, the website MMAJunkie reported that Eblen was one of the highest paid competitors on the list. Johnny and Ryan Bader each received $150,000 for the win. Eblen won $150,000 after defeating Anatoly Tokov via unanimous decision. If Eblen were a UFC fighter, he could earn close to $400,000, depending on the number of viewers he draws.
Although Eblen is not a UFC competitor, many UFC fans want him to join the world’s largest MMA promotion. Michael Chandler previously discussed the pay gap between Bellator and the UFC. Chandler joined the UFC in 2020 after 10 years competing for Bellator. Chandler said in his interview that his fight box office has not increased dramatically, but the opportunities provided by the UFC have allowed him to earn more money.
Sean O’Malley said something similar to Chandler in an interview with ESPN. O’Malley said, “I’m making millions of dollars outside of the UFC right now because of the platform the UFC gives me.”
I will probably fight twice this year and make millions of dollars outside of the UFC because of it.”
So we can all agree that joining the UFC will significantly increase Eblen’s net worth. Eblen recently said he intends to face Dricus Du Plessis, the UFC middleweight champion. This is a strong clue from Eblen regarding his future ambitions and desire to enter free agency.
Johnny Eblen talks about his dark past
MMA Junkie recently interviewed the PFL/Bellator fighter ahead of his fight against Impo Kasanganay. Eblen mentioned Bellator and the PFL, saying he’s not interested in them. The Bellator middleweight champion seems confident about his battle with Imp, claiming he’s faced guys like him before. He even said that he faced men stronger than Impa. During the conversation, Johnny compared him to former MMA fighter Georges St-Pierre (GSP). But Johnny stated that he is a little more reckless than the former UFC champion.
He also said that, unlike GSP, he enjoys the fight and does not allow pressure, and does not think about his status as the undefeated champion. Eblen stated that being better is more important to him than winning fights. After the conversation, Eblen reflected on his life’s journey, from partying to MMA champion. He said that if things had gone wrong, he would have been arrested or killed. The MMA fighter also expressed his gratitude to Steve Mocco and other coaches he met at the right time.
