Last night, the UFC returned to glimmering Las Vegas, Nevada with the finale of the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter<\/a>. The card was headlined by a flyweight title fight<\/a> between dominant champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, and the unheralded Tim Elliott, who won the latest season of the Ultimate Fighter.<\/p>\n

At the moment, purses for this 12-fight card have not been disclosed. We do, however, know how much the card’s 24 fighters took home through the UFC’s outfitting deal with sports apparel giant Reebok.<\/p>\n

Under the UFC’s deal with Reebok, fighters are paid based on the amount of fights they’ve had in the UFC’s Octagon, and in the Zuffa-owned eras of Strikeforce (April 2011 and after) and WEC (January 2007 and after). Champions and title challengers, however, are paid $40,000 and $30,000 respectively, regardless of their experience in the aforementioned promotions. These are the two highest payouts possible under this UFC-Reebok partnership.<\/p>\n

The biggest winners on the TUF 24 Finale, then, were Mighty Mouse and Elliot, who took home $40,000 and $30,000 respectively. The next biggest earners on the card were Joseph Benavidez<\/a>, who took home $20,000, and Jake Ellenberger<\/a> and Gray Maynard<\/a>, who made $15,000 each. 14 of the cards 24 fighters earned $2,500, the lowest amount possible through this outfitting policy.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of the Reebok payout for The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale, courtesy of MMAJunkie.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
