Fighters from Saturday’s UFC 221 event took home UFC Athlete Outfitting pay, a program that launched after the UFC’s deal with Reebok, totaling $171,000. UFC 221 took place at Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, and the main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Leading the way was Luke Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who received the $30,000 allotment given to those challenging for a title or fighting for a vacant or interim belt. With  Yoel Romero missing weight at Friday’s official ceremony, he was no longer eligible to win the belt and also was not rewarded with that tier of compensation.
