UFC 210 went down last night (Sat., April 18, 2017) live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside KeyBank Arena in Buffalo, New York, so now it’s time to see who went home with the biggest slice of Reebok sponsorship pie.

Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was the biggest earner of the night, taking home a cool $40,000 from Reebok, as well as his belt, after choking out Anthony Johnson (see it). For his troubles, “Rumble” took home $30,000 from the sports apparel giant.
Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman each took home $10,000 a piece following their highly-controversial Middleweight showdown (full video highlights here).

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.
