Last night the UFC returned to Las Vegas, Nevada with UFC 209. In the card’s co-main event, we saw welterweight champion Tyron Woodley narrowly defeat Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson<\/a> in a rematch of an exciting, 2016 draw. In the co-main event, we saw David Teymur score a close decision over Lando Vannata<\/a> in an exciting lightweight war. Other highlights of the main card, finally, included Alistair Overeem’s crushing KO of Mark Hunt, Dan Kelly’s foiling of Rashad Evans’ middleweight debut, and\u00a0Cynthia Calvillo’s abrupt submission defeat of Amanda Cooper.<\/p>\n

As always, the 22 fighters on this 11 fight card were compensated for wearing Reebok in the Octagon, which is the product of the UFC’s oft-criticized outfitting deal with the sports apparel company.<\/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, then, champ Woodley and challenger Thompson took home the biggest pay checks for wearing Reebok. The next biggest earner on the card, meanwhile, was Rashad Evans, who took home $20,000 on the strength of his many fights in the UFC’s Octagon.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of the UFC 209 Reebok payout (figures courtesy of MMAJunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
