Last night, the UFC returned to our screens with UFC Fortaleza, an action-packed, 12-fight card featuring top talent from Brazil and further afield.<\/p>\n

In the main event, we watched former welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum burst into middleweight title contention<\/a>\u00a0with a dominant, first-round destruction of Vitor Belfort<\/a>. In the co-main event, we saw Mauricio “Shogun” Rua deliver a vintage knockout over the game Gian Villante<\/a>. Elsewhere on the card, finally, we saw impressive wins from lightweight contender Edson Barboza, flyweight contender Ray Borg, and rising welterweight Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira.<\/p>\n

At the moment,\u00a0the fight purses for the 24 athletes on the UFC Fortaleza bill are not yet known. We do, however, know how much the card’s competitors 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

Under this framework, the card’s biggest winner was the veteran Vitor Belfort, who took home $20,000. The next biggest winners on the card were Shogun, Barboza, and Joshua Burkman, who pocketed $15,000 apiece.<\/p>\n

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