How much are UFC 295 co-headliners Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich getting paid for upcoming interim title fight?

Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich look set to earn the biggest payday of their careers when they face off at UFC 295 this weekend.

The two heavyweights will meet inside the octagon in New York at Madison Square Garden on November 11. They'll face off for the interim heavyweight title. The bout was put together on just two weeks notice, following Jon Jones' cancelled main-event bout against Stipe Miocic.

Aspinall is heading into just his second fight after recovering from the ACL and MCL injury he suffered during his bout against Curtis Blaydes last year. He returned to action this July, finishing Marcin Tybura in the first-round.

Pavlovich, the Russian heavy-hitter, has looked inpenetrable since losing his UFC debut to Alistair Overeem. The 31-year-old has picked up the victory in all six of his following fights and finished every opponent in the first-round.

Ahead of their highly anticipated clash this weekend, fans have been wondering how Tom Aspinall and Sergei Pavlovich are being compensated for stepping up to face one another on short notice.

Per The Sports Daily, both Pavlovich and Aspinall are potentially set to rake in the biggest earnings of their careers so far. With the use of previously disclosed figures, it has been predicted that the two heavyweights will take home $256,000 for their co-main event clash.

That figure is also expected to rise due to pay-per-view sales and performance bonuses, as well as Dana White's famous locker room bonuses.
