On Sunday\u00a0night, the UFC touched down in snowy Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for the second time.<\/p>\n

In the card’s main event, we saw streaking heavyweight destroyer Derrick Lewis collect another skull by weathering an early storm to KO Travis Browne in the second<\/a>. In the co-main event, meanwhile, we saw former welterweight champ Johny Hendricks make a successful middleweight debut with a hard-fought decision defeat of former Bellator champ Hector Lombard<\/a>. The rest of the card, finally, featured big wins from some of Canada’s top fighters, and talented athletes from far further afield.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the fighter purses for this event have not yet been disclosed. We do, however, know how much the card’s 22 fighters took home through the UFC’s oft-criticized 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

Under this framework, the biggest earners on the UFC Halifax bill were Travis Browne and Johny Hendricks, who pocketed $15,000 apiece. The next biggest winners, meanwhile, were Derrick Lewis, Sam Sicilia and Cezar “Mutante” Ferreira, who pockets $10,000 each. The remaining fighters on the card pocketed either $5000 or $2,500, depending on their experience.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of what the 22 fighters on the UFC Halifax bill got paid for wearing Reebok (figures via MMAJunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
