Reebok payouts for UFC Fight Night 88: Cody Garbrandt breaks the bank, scores whopping $2,500

UFC Fight Night 88 went down last night (Sun., May 29, 2016) inside Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, and now it's time to see who went home with the largest slice of the Reebok sponsorship pie.

Jeremy Stephens was the biggest financial winner of the night, as he took home a $20,000 sponsorship check after schooling former bantamweight champion, Renan Barao, for three rounds in to co-main event (see it again here).

As for Barao, he gets to cash in an extra $10,000 in Reebok sponsorship bread following his defeat at the hands of "Lil' Heathen." Despite a loss to Lorenz Larkin, Jorge Masvidal earned a nice consolation prize in the form of a $15,000 check.

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.
