Demetrious Johnson made a decent amount of money from his participation in the UFC video game franchise. Apart from being a fierce competitor in the octagon, ‘Mighty Mouse’ is an avid gamer who enjoys playing a range of games, both old school classics and modern hits like Grand Theft Auto V and Street Fighter. His presence in the UFC video games developed by EA Games has resulted in some substantial payments.
In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, Johnson shared that he received a $25,000 payment for his appearance in the initial UFC video game. For UFC 3 and the Icon Edition, he earned $12,500 and $10,000 respectively. Even after parting ways with the UFC, Johnson’s character was still included in UFC 4, which brought him an additional $25,000. Overall, he amassed over $70,000 from 2014 to 2024 for licensing his likeness to EA and the UFC.
Johnson finds it exciting to see his character in the game and to be compensated for the use of his likeness, especially since it involves earning money without enduring any physical blows. He values the UFC and EA’s regular payments to athletes for featuring their likenesses and is thankful for the opportunity to generate income through his involvement in the popular video game series.
