UFC 193 went down last night (Sat., Nov. 14, 2015) from  inside Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia and now it's time to see who went home with the biggest slice of the Reebok sponsorship pie.

Former women's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey, took home the biggest check of the night, cashing on a $40,000 sponsorship payday from the sports apparel giant despite losing to Holly Holm in the headlining bout (see it here).

As for Holm, she's going back to Albuquerque, New Mexico with a $30,000 paycheck from Reebok, as well as a shiny new belt and an extra $100,000 in bonus money.

UFC strawweight champion, Joanna Jedrzejczyk will also cash in with a $40,000 sponsorship bonus, while Valerie Letourneau banked $30,000, as is standard for champions and No. 1 contenders.

So, how are payouts determined?

According to the revamped payout structure (see it), the more fights you have combined with UFC and the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce promotions, the more coin you have for your combat sports piggy bank.

And the less fights you have under the ZUFFA banner... well, the less you get. 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 20-30 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.
