The mandatory Reebok sponsorship salaries for UFC fighters continues to look bad on paper, as the fighter who lost in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 99 event took home twice as much as the next largest earner, as he earned double what both Gegard Mousasi and Urijah Hall, the two headliners of the event, were paid.
The Reebok system is set up in a way that compensates veterans of the promotion the greatest, regardless of almost any factors such as rankings or the actual performance they put on inside the Octagon, but instead rewarding them for their longevity in the sport and the top level.
A good example of the system and how it may seem fair at a glance when no specific fighters or dollar amounts are attached, but completely out-of-whack when those factors are added to the mix, is the UFC Fight Night 99 event from Belfast, Northern Ireland from Saturday afternoon.
As seen in the figures below, which come courtesy of MMAJunkie.com, Ross Pearson took home $20,000 in sponsorship money from Reebok in a losing effort, as he was defeated by Stevie Ray in the co-main event. Meanwhile, event headliners Gegard Mousasi and Urijah Hall both earned the same amount from the Reebok sponsorship deal, as the two pocketed $10,000, exactly half of what Pearson earned, despite a number of factors.
Featured below are the UFC Fight Night 99 Reebok sponsorship salaries for all of the fighters who competed on the card that aired live on UFC Fight Pass from the SSE Arena.

After his picking up his fourth straight victory, three by way of KO or TKO and all in 2016, with his win over Urijah Hall in their rematch on Saturday night, Gegard Mousasi has his sights set on a big fight the next time he steps into the Octagon.
At the official UFC Fight Night 99 post-fight press conference on Saturday evening after his win over Hall in the main event of the show held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mousasi noted that he hopes to fight one of three men next: Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz or Luke Rockhold.
For each potential high-profile fighter Mousasi has a different reason why he feels they would make for a good opponent. In the case of Anderson Silva, it appears to simply be a case of wanting to fight and beat “The Spider,” widely considered the best pound-for-pound MMA fighter of all-time and easily the best Middleweight Champion in UFC history. For Nick Diaz, he mentioned it being a good “Super Fight,” indicating that it is a fight that fans would like to see regardless of what it means to a particular weight class, and likely because fighting either Diaz right now would result in a lot of eyeballs on your match. Finally, Mousasi mentioned Rockhold because he feels he would be a good opponent to face to earn the right to fight for the UFC Middleweight Championship, which the Team AKA fighter recently held before being upset by the current title-holder, Michael Bisping.
“Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz as a super fight, that’s a great fight for me; but to get to a title shot, maybe Luke Rockhold,” Mousasi said when asked the usual post-fight question regarding who he would like to fight in his next Octagon appearance.
Mousasi continued, “It depends on UFC. If they give me top-10, top-15, No. 2, I’ll take the fight as long as they give me the next title shot. I’m ready to take anyone.”
