Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos Although the feedback on the UFC’s newly launched apparel sponsorship with Reebok has been largely negative , UFC lightweight Danny Castillo is among the group lauding the deal. But for obvious reasons. Castillo’s (17-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) privileged position is responsible for his opinion. “Last Call” will compete in his 21st bout under the Zuffa banner on Saturday when he meets Jim Miller (24-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC) at UFC on FOX 16. The 155-pound bout is featured on the FOX-televised preliminary card at Chicago’s United Center. Reaching his 21st UFC/WEC bout means Castillo joins the highest tier of Reebok sponsorship payouts (excluding champions and challengers). Win or lose, Castillo will earn a payday of $20,000 due to his lengthy tenure. And although he’s won just 12 (60 percent) of his previous 20 contests, Castillo said he appreciates the reward for his efforts.
