Last night, the UFC touched down in Brooklyn, New York for the first time ever. It did so with UFC 208, a card that was headlined by the first women’s featherweight title fight in UFC history.<\/p>\n

This title fight pitted former bantamweight champion Holly Holm against kickboxing specialist Germaine De Randamie. De Randamie would win this fight<\/a> with a controversial decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The co-main event, meanwhile, pitted former middleweight king and veritable MMA legend Anderson Silva against rising middleweight contender Derek Brunson. Much like the main event, this fight ended with a controversial decision, as Silva was awarded the win, but many pundits believed Brunson should have gotten he nod<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rest of the card, finally, saw Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza tap Tim Boetsch<\/a> at middleweight, Glover Teixeira decision Jared Cannonier at light heavyweight, and Dustin Poirier outwork Jim Miller at lightweight.<\/p>\n

At the moment, fighter purses for UFC 208 have not been disclosed. We do, however, now how much the card’s 20 fighters took home through the UFC’s oft-criticized outfitting deal with 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

As title challengers, Holm and De Randamie topped the Reebok payroll, pocketing $30,000 each. The next biggest winners, meanwhile, were veterans Anderson Silva, Tim Boetsch and Jim Miller, all of whom took home $20,000.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of the athlete outfitting pay for UFC 208 (figures via MMAJunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
