Last night, the UFC took over Portland, Oregon with UFC Fight Night 96<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the evening’s main event, we saw streaking bantamweight contender John Lineker take an extremely competitive decision<\/a> from two-time flyweight title challenger John Dodson.<\/p>\n

The evening’s co-main event, meanwhile, saw Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira stop former Bellator champ Will Brooks after missing weight by more than 5 lbs.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the card, we saw fighters like Zak Ottow<\/a>, Brandon Moreno<\/a>, Andre Fili<\/a>, Nate Marquardt<\/a> and Curtis Blaydes<\/a> score memorable wins.<\/p>\n

At the moment, fighter purses for the event have no yet been disclosed. We do, however, know how much each of the card’s 24 fighters took home through the UFC’s oft-criticized uniform deal with sports apparel giant, Reebok.<\/p>\n

Athlete outfitting pay is determined by the number of fights a fighter has had in the UFC, and during the Zuffa-owned eras of Strikeforce (April 2011 and later) and WEC (January 2007 and later). Champions, however, receive $40,000 regardless of Zuffa experience, while title challengers get $30,000.<\/p>\n

The 24 fighters on the UFC Fight Night 96 lineup took home a total of $115,000.<\/p>\n

The biggest slice of that\u00a0pie\u00a0went to the veteran Nate Marquardt on the strength of his 24 fights in the UFC and Zuffa-era Strikeforce. Beyond Marquardt, Josh Burkman was the next biggest winner, taking home $15,000 for his 16th fight in the UFC.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that 15 of the fighters on the card received the lowest amount possible on the UFC’s athlete outfitting payment scale: a mere $2,500.<\/p>\n
