Last night, the UFC touched down in the Canadian MMA hub of Edmonton, Alberta with the anticipated UFC 215.<\/p>\n

In the UFC 215 main event, we saw UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes score a razor-close win over red-hot challenger Valentina Shevchenko<\/a>. In the co-main event, meanwhile we saw former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos assert himself as one of the hottest contenders at welterweight<\/a>, steamrolling Neil Magny <\/a>to a first round submission win. Elsewhere on the main card, we saw former UFC flyweight contender Henry Cejudo club Wilson Reis to a first-round win, while Ilir Latifi slowed the rise of Tyson Pedro with a decision, and Jeremy Stephens spoiled the featherweight debut of Gilbert Melendez with a unanimous nod.<\/p>\n

At the moment, the official fight purses for UFC 215 have not yet been disclosed. We do, however, know how much each of the card’s fighters took home for wearing 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, UFC 215’s biggest earners were Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko, who pocketed $40,000 and $30,000 as champion and challenger respectively. The next biggest earners on the card were the experienced Jeremy Stephens and Rafael dos Anjos, who pocketed $20,000 each.<\/p>\n

Here’s a full rundown of the Reebok payout for UFC 215 (via MMAJunkie.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n
