\"Joe<\/a><\/p>\n

While the UFC-Reebok uniform deal is not being enforced just yet, that hasn’t stopped fighters and fans from discussing the finer points of the deal, mainly, how fighters will be paid.<\/p>\n

Under the new Reebok deal, fighters will be paid based on their ranking, with the champion making the most money, and the fighters ranked in the top 10 of that division below him getting paid a certain amount, dependent on their ranking, with unranked fighters getting a base pay.<\/p>\n

Lauzon, who is an 18 fight UFC veteran, and holds the record for most post-fight awards, will now be paid the same amount under the UFC-Reebok deal, that a fighter on his first UFC fight would make.<\/p>\n

He explains:<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Proctor trains at my gym. He was on \u2018The Ultimate Fighter,\u2019 had a couple of (UFC) fights. He\u2019s technically unranked; I\u2019m unranked. But I make a lot more sponsors than he does.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at the new system, we\u2019re going to be on the exact same page, which is pretty crappy, but I think as time goes on, they\u2019ll fix it,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re telling us that they\u2019re going to give us some kind of numbers, or we\u2019ll have some kind of distinction, in May. So that will be when you can say this is good, and this is bad, and anything could change at the drop of a hat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
