When it comes to smaller UFC events, the sponsorship payouts are around half of what they are for PPVs and Fox shows. So far, anyway - we're working with a pretty small sample size. Saturday's UFC Fight Night 73 event in Nashville had the second-lowest total Reebok sponsorship payout of the seven events under the deal so far, with $107,500 in total. Just three fighters made 10k, and no one made more than that. Here's how it break down by fighter.
Glover Teixeira: $5,000
Ovince Saint Preux: $10,000
Beneil Dariush: $5,000
Michael Johnson: $10,000
Derek Brunson: $5,000
Sam Alvey: $2,500
Jared Rosholt: $5,000
Timothy Johnson: $2,500
Amanda Nunes: $5,000
Sara McMann: $2,500
