Vets Lead The Way In UFC San Antonio Reebok Pay

Andre Arlovski and Rafael dos Anjos would walk out with the most money from Reebok on Saturday night, both earning $20,000 in sponsorship pay.

While Arlovski would win in the first round of his fight against Ben Rothwell and RDA would fall to Leon Edwards by decision, both fighters have appeared inside the Octagon for more than 21 fights, giving the basement for the highest pay grade for anyone not fighting for a world title.

The payout structure is built on the amount of fights the competitor has had in a Zuffa owned property (UFC, WEC, or Strikeforce.)

1-3 Fights: $3,500

4-5 Fights: $4,000

6-10 Fights $5,000

11-15 Fights: $10,000

16-20 Fights: $15,000
