The UFC has been running massive pay-per-view events for well over 15 years. People often wonder what are the world’s leading mixed martial arts organisation’s biggest-selling PPV superstars in the company. A number of huge names have headlined these shows, with Conor McGregor, Brock Lesnar, Jorge Masvidal, and more featuring heavily among the top-selling fighters in the UFC. 

The UFC has become a huge entity in the world of combat sports and is now regularly competing with boxing in terms of its audience numbers and pay-per-view figures. UFC president Dana White has revolutionized the promotion, which has monopolized MMA and ensured that the best fights are being made on a regular basis irrespective of politics involving the biggest fighters.

That said, in this list, we will take a look at the Top 5 biggest pay-per-view stars currently in the UFC. 

Top 5 biggest PPV stars in UFC

#5 Israel Adesanya

Israel Adesanya is one of the biggest names in the UFC currently. The former middleweight champion had a dominant run in the UFC. However, he lost his middleweight title against Alex Pereira and then reclaimed it last year. Only to win it later but losing it again against Sean Strickland last year. 

While his most recent run inside the octagon hasn’t been as good as his past, he still remains one of the biggest names in the sport. Moreover, he remains to be one of the biggest draws. 

#4 Sean O’Malley

The rise of Sean O’Malley has been nothing short of rocketing. The former bantamweight champion has already headlined three pay-per-view cards. In his last fight, O’Malley headlined the UFC Noche earlier this year against Merab Dvalishvili. While he ended up losing the fight, he remains to be one of the biggest names in the promotion.

O’Malley’s presence on social media has helped him become a global PPV star. As a result, he ranks No4 in our biggest PPV stars in the MMA promotion.
