LAS VEGAS – Fighters from Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 88 event took home UFC Athlete Outfitting pay, a program that launched after the UFC’s deal with Reebok, totaling $162,500.

Featherweight Jeremy Stephens (25-12 MMA, 12-11 UFC), who earned a hard-fought decision win over Renan Barao (33-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the night’s co-main event, took home the night’s biggest check with $20,000, the maximum amount allowed for non-title participants. Former bantamweight champion Barao took home $10,000 for his efforts.

UFC Fight Night 88 took place Sunday at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Both the main card and the majority of the preliminary card aired on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

In the night’s main event, undefeated bantamweight prospect Cody Garbrandt (9-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) picked up a dominating first-round knockout of previously undefeated Brazilian contender Thomas Almeida (20-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC).

A handful of fighters – including Chris Camozzi, Jorge Masvidal and Rick Story – came in just behind Stephens’ mark, earning $15,000 each.

Under the UFC Athlete Outfitting program’s payout tiers, which appropriate the money generated by Reebok’s multi-year sponsorship with the UFC, 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.

Year-to-date total: $2,452,500
