Last night, the UFC touched down in the country of New Zealand for a second time with the exciting UFC Auckland card.<\/p>\n

In this card\u2019s main event, we saw Kiwi MMA legend Mark Hunt collide with surging American heavyweight contender Derek Lewis. Hunt would win this fight by punishing an exhausted Lewis to a fourth-round TKO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event, meanwhile, established middleweight contender Derek Brunson looked to rebound from back-t0-back losses against streaking Australian judoka Dan Kelly.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the main card, we saw Dan \u201cHangman\u201d Hooker score a crushing, knee-induced knockout<\/a> over experienced Brit\u00a0Ross Pearson, 23-year-old Moldovan light heavyweight score a quick knockout<\/a> over Brazil\u2019s Henrique da Silva, and Australian flyweight Ben Nguyen author\u00a0an ultra quick submission defeat<\/a> of recent flyweight title challenger Timothy Elliott.<\/p>\n

At the moment, purses for this 11-fight UFC Auckland card have not yet been disclosed. We do, however, know how much each of the card’s 22 fighters pocketed through the UFC’s oft-criticized outfitting deal with sports apparel company 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 earner of the night was England’s Pearson, who pocketed $20,000 for his loss to Hooker. The next biggest winners were the main-eventers Hunt and Lewis, and the co-main event winner Brunson, who earned $10,000 for wearing Reebok in their fights.<\/p>\n

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