And there was a lot of cash to go around, as UFC 199 marked the biggest payout to date since the landmark deal between UFC and Reebok a few years ago.

Luke Rockhold went home with the biggest payday of the night, as he scored a whopping $40,000 sponsorship check from Reebok despite losing via first-round knockout to Michael Bisping in the main event of the evening (see it again here).

As for "The Count," he walked away with a $30,000 score to go along with a shiny new belt.

Dominick Cruz also took home a $40,000 sponsorship check after he defeated Urijah Faber to retain his Bantamweight strap. In defeat (recap), "The California Kid" walked away with an extra $30,000.

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. 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.
