Last night, the UFC returned to sun-scorched Phoenix, Arizona. They did so with UFC Fight Night 103,<\/a> a card that featured plenty of action,<\/a> controversy, and even a bit of UFC history<\/a>.\u00a0At the moment, the purses for this 12-fight Phoenix card have not been disclosed.\u00a0We do, however, know how much the card\u2019s 24 fighters took home through the UFC\u2019s outfitting deal with sports apparel giant Reebok.<\/p>\n

Under the UFC\u2019s deal with Reebok, fighters are paid based on the amount of fights they\u2019ve had in the UFC\u2019s 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 earners of the UFC’s latest trip to Phoenix were Joe Lauzon, who won a questionable decision over Marcin Held<\/a> in the co-main event, and our own BJ Penn<\/a>, who came up short against Yair Rodriguez in the main event. Making their 23rd and 24th UFC appearances respectively, Lauzon and Penn both took home $20,000 for wearing Reebok.<\/p>\n

The next biggest earners of the card were welterweights Court McGee and Ben Saunders, who fought to a contentious decision on the main card<\/a>. Both fighters pocketed $10,000 for wearing Reebok.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of the Reebok payout for the UFC’s return to Phoenix (figures via MMAJunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
