Report: Venum deal gives UFC champions a $2,000 pay rise

The much-maligned Reebok deal is over. The UFC’s new uniform deal, with fight sports brand Venum, can now begin.

ESPN’s Marc Raimondi is the first to report numbers associated with the Venum deal. He spoke to UFC senior executive vice president and chief operating officer Lawrence Epstein to get the info.

Reportedly, despite Reebok now being out of the picture the UFC will continue the “fight week incentive pay” program is started with Reebok back in 2014. That program pays fighters a flat rate based on their champion status or the amount of fights they have had in the promotion.
