Despite losing to Mark Hunt in the very first round of their UFC Fight Night 85 headlining bout in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia last night, former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir topped the Reebok payouts for the evening with $20,000.
The entire payroll for the event totaled $110,000.
Fighters are paid based on their total number of UFC bouts, as well as Zuffa-era WEC fights (January 2007 and later) and Zuffa-era Strikeforce bouts (April 2011 and later). 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. Additionally, champions earn $40,000 while title challengers get $30,000.
In addition to experience-based pay, UFC fighters will receive in perpetuity royalty payments amounting to 20-30 percent of any UFC merchandise sold that bears their likeness, according to officials.
