Now that UFC on ESPN+ 9 — which went down from inside Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, last Saturday night (May 4, 2019) — it’s time to see who hot the bigger slice of the Reebok sponsorship pie.

It’s no surprise that longtime veteran Donald Cerrone is leading the way with a $20,000 payout, as he’s been competing for UFC longer than any other man on the card. His former WEC and Jackson-Winkeljohn stablemate Cub Swanson also scored a similar payout after coming up short to Shane Burgos, who only managed to rake in $5,000.

But, that’s not all! Take a look at the entire Reebok payouts (courtesy of MMA Junkie).

Donald Cerrone: $20,000 def. Al Iaquinta: $10,000

Derek Brunson: $15,000 def. Elias Theodorou: $5,000

Shane Burgos: $5,000 def. Cub Swanson: $20,000

Merab Dvalishvili: $4,000 def. Brad Katona: $3,500

Walt Harris: $10,000 def. Serghei Spivac: $3,500

Andrew Sanchez: $5,000 def. Marc-Andre Barriault: $3,500

Macy Chiasson: $3,500 def. Sarah Moras: $5,000

Vince Morales: $3,500 def. Aiemann Zahabi: $3,500

Nordine Taleb: $10,000 def. Kyle Prepolec: $3,500

Matt Sayles: $3,500 def. Kyle Nelson: $3,500

Arjan Bhullar: $4,000 def. Juan Adams: $3,500

Cole Smith: $3,500 def. Mitch Gagnon: $5,000

TOTAL: $156,500

According to the payout structure (see it), the more fights a fighter has accumulated — combined with UFC and the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce promotions — the more coin he or she gets to fill his or her combat sports piggy bank. And the less fights a fighter has under the Endeavor umbrella … well, the less he or she gets.

If you have a problem with the structure, take it up with UFC … not Reebok.

According to the report, fighters will also receive royalty and payments up to 20 to 30 percent of any UFC-related merchandise sold that bears his or her likeness. That’s a great way for the Internet “morons” to help the cause.
