If you're from the regional circuit, you make at least $8000 per fight on your first contract. That number is doubled if you win and you have a chance at a bonus for: fight of the night, submission of the night, and knockout of the night.
Most fighters make between 15 and 75 thousand per fight. Win and you get double your "show" money. This number is disclosed by governing commissions after a fight and varies greatly between fighters.
Champions and established pay per view draws make in the millions. Most of their contracts include a "show" base and income based on a portion of their pay per view sales. Georges St. Pierre recently said he makes about 5 million per fight.
In addition, many fighters receive undisclosed bonuses for entertaining fights and almost all fighters at the UFC level have sponsorship deals in place.
It depends on which wrestler and UFC fighter you are comparing. Actually speaking the top wrestlers like "John Cena" or "CM Punk" or even part time wrestlers like "Rock", "Brock Lesnar" or "Undertaker" make far more money than almost all the UFC fighters. Similarly, the top UFC fighters like Anderson Silva, Jon Jones etc make more money than most of the wrestlers. In fact, the amount of money these guys make is a direct reflection of their popularity and the guys who are champions usually make more money than the rest of their peers.
No WEC fighters are in UFC Undisputed, as they are not UFC fighters.
Both Pride and UFC are MMA promotions that organize events where fighters fight one another in MMA bouts. UFC is a much larger promotion in terms of size, value ($$) and number of fighters. Pride is much smaller and is usually the promotion where talented fighters start their careers. As they win matches and build reputation, they move over to larger organizations like UFC.
It depends on your professional fighting history and win-loss record. It also depends on where you fight on the fight-card. People fighting on the main-card usually make a lot more money that those who fight on the under-card or the preliminary-card. People make as low as $5000 or so per fight and so, the amount of money you may make at your UFC debut may be around that number as well. More prominent fighters make a lot more money when they make their UFC debut, for ex: Brock Lesnar reportedly made $250,000 for his UFC Debut against Frank Mir.
