Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) invaded INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas, last Saturday night (March 9, 2019) to stage UFC Fight Night 146. Junior dos Santos knocked out Derrick Lewis in the main event (see it again here) to score his third straight win. In the co-headlining act, Elizeu Zeleski dos Santos submitted Curtis Millender to score his seventh straight victory (highlights), and up his stock in a crowded Welterweight division.
For their part in the headlining act, both Junior and Derrick scored $15,000 from Reebok, while Elizeu and Curtis banked $5,000 and $4,000, respectively. The highest earner of the night was Tim Boetsch, who walked away with a $20,0000 from the sports apparel giant despite coming up short to Omari Akhmedov.
That’s not all!

According to the payout structure (see it), the more fights a fighter has accumulated — combined with UFC and the now-defunct World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Strikeforce promotions — the more coin he or she gets to fill his or her combat sports piggy bank.
And the less fights a fighter has under the Endeavor umbrella ... well, the less he or she gets. According to the report, fighters will also receive royalty and payments up to 20 to 30 percent of any UFC-related merchandise sold that bears his or her likeness.
