Now that UFC Fight Night 75 -- which went down last night (Sat., Sept. 26, 2015) from the Saitama Super Arena from Saitama, Japan -- is in the books, it's time to see who went home with the biggest slice of the Reebok sponsorship pie.
Headliners Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson each took home a $10,000 Reebok check following their five-round war (video highlights here).
However, George Roop and Takeya Mizugaki took home the biggest paydays, as both combatants walked away with a cool $15,000 check. That's because both men have plenty of fights under the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) organization with helps with their running totals under the Zuffa umbrella.
Here's what the rest of the card earned (via MMA Junkie):
Josh Barnett ($10,000)

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.
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.
