Holloway Leads Reebok Pay For UFC 236
On Monday, it was revealed that Max Holloway, in addition to being one of the highest paid fighters at UFC 236, would also receive another $40,000 from Reebok.
Reebok, the official athletic wear sponsor of the UFC, hands out bonuses for fighters in-lieu of any sponsors they may have gained outside of the UFC.
While Holloway topped the list with a $40,000 payday, new interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, new interim middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, and Kelvin Gastelum walked away with $30,000 each.
