What exactly is included in Reebok bonus calculation? WEC after Zuffa buyout? Do pre-Zuffa UFC fights don’t count for old school guys like Belfort?
Can you actually make a separate one w/ 20 or more “Zuffa” bouts. That way the MMA community can have a collective list of who has reached the top tier of the Reebok payout.
That would be very interesting and helpful…would probably lead to many good articles being written.
Damn that is a good questions. These are real questions that need to be asked and answered. But too many “jounalists” are worried about writing articles about what Conor McGregor had for breakfast.
You should write an article that lists diferent tiers of a potential Reebock Bonus:
Only UFC Fights
Only Zuffa Bouts
Only Zuffa Bouts including all UFC bouts (pre-zuffa)
All Zuffa owned companies bouts (including pre-zuffa owned)
I mean, UFC lists all Pride, Strikeforce, and other bouts on their web-site for fighter rankings…so why not include them, Who is actually getting screwed here?
Could be an article freely cited by fighters in favor of unionization.
I know I’d link it to Reddit and get it upvoted to the moon!
Apparently WEC-Zuffa bouts count, as Faber got 20K in his retirement fight which puts him in over 20 fight tier, however it was only 16th UFC fight.
Good research my man!
Those are some honest points that I don’t think have ever been brought up before.
So pre-zuffa UFC fights don’t count.
WOW!
Melvin Guillard should be at 22 with a UFC record of 12-9-0(1).
Trimmed to 21+
Trimmed to 20+
Trimmed Top 25 to 19+ fights.
Trimmed to 22+. Seems like fighters are having longer UFC careers these days.
Tibau’s last win changed to a loss by DQ.
The way Kos has been looking, I don’t see him hanging on for 5 more fights.
My money is on Tibau to hold this record in a couple of years.
Trimmed Top 25 to 18+ wins
I think it’s time to cut everyone with less than 17 fights (that will still leave us with 26 guys).
Man, this thing just keeps growing…
Damn those UFC fighters, they just keep fighting! 🙂
With the recent wave of cuts (including Fitch), and the news that the UFC could cut as many as 100 fighters this year, this list could settle down quite a bit.
This list is going to require constant maintenance, I’d say that the cut-off line will be 19 fights before the end of the year.
I know it says 15 total fights I just think Fitch’s UFC resume is impressive
Sanchez is 10-4 in the UFC. He’ll make this list after his next fight.
Why isnt Chris Leben in those rankings? He has 16 UFC fights!
Jon Fitch has 14 fights in the UFC and is 13-1
Thanks for the correction GMan
Diego Sanchez ?
Some good fights coming up in a couple days
Did Zuffa buy EXC? I don’t remember this, thought Gary Shaw just ate what was left of the promotion :).
Far as I can find, Pro Elite just dissolved. EXC probably didn’t have any assets worthy for Zuffa to grab.
I found out that officially all of Strikeforce and WEC post-Zuffa merger fights are counted towards Reebok bonuses.
Also trimmed to 23+
Belfort supposedly made $15K for his last fight, which would have been #25 UFC but 19 if you exclude the pre-Zuffa era. So apparently pre-Zuffa UFC fights don’t count.

Yeah I can’t find the official info anywhere. Everything says “UFC fights” specifically – I’m guessing this includes pre-Zuffa which might have only made a difference for Belfort and Mir off the top of my head.
But some of the older articles say “Strikeforce and WEC” fights included, I would assume only for Zuffa-promoted events. Will try to look at past bonuses of of former SF and WEC fights to figure it out.
Pretty sure Pride and WFA don’t count as they never held an event under Zuffa banner.
Who else did Zuffa buy out?

Fixed. I agree that 20 is a nice round number but others were on my ass about keeping these lists to Top 25 with ties.

Then you should edit the part where it says “All fighters with 21 or more UFC bouts are included.”
…but I rather this just be a 20+ club, who cares if the list gets a bit long. 20 fights is a nice badge of honor.

Since the Rebock deal was announced you should make a subsection to include all Zuffa owned fights (WEC & Strikeforce) as they are included when deciding tenure for the Rebock pay scale.

Let’s just take the last two digits of the current year and add X… make this the “Cut off” and call it a day.

Capping this list at Top 25 w/ties, which brings us to a minimum of 16 wins.
