With UFC On FOX 19 officially in the books, it’s time to find out how much money fighters who competed on Saturday’s fight card earned via their new, mandatory Reebok sponsorship deals.
Below are the payouts that the fighters earned strictly from the UFC/Reebok outfitting deal for the fights from Tampa, Florida this past Saturday, April 16, 2016.
