UFC has dropped Reebok after 7 years to partner with Venum, who have been producing combat sports gear since 2005, introducing their brand new range of apparel, fight night kits, merchandise & more!
The new deal will also offer fighters a slight bump in income, which will be dependent on their octagon experience, plus extra levels for champions and title contenders. You can view the full new payment scheme and levels on the MMA Fighting website.
UFC fighters with 1-3 fights have been bumped up from $3,500 to $4,000 under the new program. Fighters will receive around R7,500 more per fight as a base fee. Keep in mind that doesn’t include fight bonuses, sponsorships & all that jazz! Meanwhile, defending champions will see an increase from $40,000 to $42,000 under the Venum partnership.
