We now know the official figures that fighters will receive per fight under the UFC's new apparel deal with Reebok, and they're actually lower than the last report.

UFC bantamweight Cody Gibson posted a shot of the letter UFC fighters received from the UFC to Twitter, showing the payouts for each tier under the new uniform policy, and for fighters with one to five fights in the organization, they'll receive just $2,500 per fight. Champions, meanwhile, will receive just $40,000 per fight.



In case Gibson winds up deleting his Tweet, the full breakdown is below:

1-5 bouts: $2,500 per fight
6-10 bouts: $5,000 per fight
11-15 bouts: $10,000 per fight
16-20 bouts: $15,000 per fight
21+ fights: $20,000 per fight
Title challenger: $30,000 per fight
Champion: $40,000 per fight

Penick's Analysis: Once again, for some fighters, this will work out alright. However, the figures seem quite low for a significant segment of the roster, especially the Champions. Now, for those who have signed separate deals with Reebok, their pay is likely to be significantly higher than that, but for a Champion like Demetrious Johnson, who had a significant deal with Microsoft's Xbox, this could represent a significant hit per fight. It's hard to see how these figures amount to supplementing the income lost for many fighters, as Dana White tried to argue. We'll see how the rest of the roster reacts here moving forward.
