The UFC’s announcement regarding fighter pay scale in relation to its sponsorship agreement with Reebok was met with controversy today. Some voiced displeasure, others declared support.
The sponsorship doesn’t go into effect until UFC 189 in July. In that time more details will likely emerge and potential changes to the pay structure may be made.
Given the current information, though, this is how money would be distributed if the Reebok deal were in place for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 65 event in Australia. The card streams on UFC Fight Pass from Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia.
