The key was the first round. Generally speaking, most people had 2 and 3 for Hendricks, and 4 and 5 for Lawler. Round 1 was the tossup.

The UFC also reserved the right to have a title sponsor for a fight, which will have a patch for everyone's uniform in that event.

Reebok will work with the fighters to design fight uniforms, fighters will have broad discretion on color and style, as long as Reebok is prominently featured on their uniform. If a fighter's specific uniform sells well, they will get a cut.

A big chunk of the money from the sponsorship deal will be set aside to pay fighters who are going to lose their own sponsorship deals, on a 5-tier system where you get paid more the higher you are ranked at weigh-in.

I just read this. That absolutely sucks for the fighters. Sponsors were a big part of their pay.
