UFC Fight Night 95 Athlete Outfitting pay: Headliners 'Cyborg,' Lansberg combine for $5,000 payout

BRASILIA, Brazil – Fighters from Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 95 event took home UFC Athlete Outfitting pay, a program that launched after the UFC’s deal with Reebok, totaling $137,500.

UFC Fight Night 95 took place at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil, and the main card aired on FS1 following prelims on the same channel and UFC Fight Pass.

Leading the way in the payout department was “The Ultimate Fighter 10” winner and longtime promotional heavyweight Roy Nelson (22-13 MMA, 9-9 UFC), who picked up a second-round knockout of Antonio Silva (19-10-1 MMA, 3-7-1 UFC) in a main-card bout.

Main-event winner Cristiane Justino (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) was among the lowest paid on the card. She and opponent Lina Lansberg (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) were paid just $2,500 each for their catchweight headliner, which “Cyborg” won via second-round TKO.

Fighters with 1-5 bouts receive $2,500 per appearance; 6-10 bouts get $5,000; 11-15 bouts earn $10,000; 16-20 bouts pocket $15,000; and 21 bouts and more get $20,000.
