As we know, the Athlete Outfitting program pays fighters based on time served with Zuffa which would include WEC and Strikeforce when both entities were owned by the UFC.
Fighters with 1-5 fights: $2,500
Fighters with 6-10 fights: $5,000
Fighters with 11-15 fights: $10,000
Fighters with 16-20 fights: $15,000
Fighters with 21 fights or more: $20,000
Champions: $40,000
Title Challengers: $30,000
Payout Perspective:
Barnett receives only $5,000 despite his lengthy career and the fact he would likely garner much more than $5,000 in sponsorship money if there was no Reebok deal. He has 9 UFC fights spanning back to 2000 but his time in Strikeforce was pre-Zuffa. Similar to Barnett, it was Ben Rothwell’s 9th UFC fight despite being a long-term pro. The $137,500 reflects the fact that most of the fighters on the card have less than 10 fights and there were no title fights making this a relatively inexpensive night for Reebok payouts.
