That's 185K a year. Not much to bitch about, IMO.
I remember people said the same thing about Sylvia and Arlovski. There was lots of whining about how the UFC mistreated them. How did that turn out again? With both guys begging to come back to the big bad UFC.
Yeah, the NFL is brutal. Look at Mike Webster. HOF player, winner of four SBs, and considered one of the best centers ever. Dude's brain was so badly damaged from play he didn't even recognize his family when he was in his 40s. He was homeless before he died, and got absolutely no help from the NFL. They pretty much wiped their hands of the man. And his story is not an isolated case either. They have done that with most of their players (who are pretty much all shot by their 30s).The NFL is the most cut throat of them all thought

+ 130k for 2 fight of the night, + 302k discretionary
Total = 1.48 million for 18 fights over 8 years.
Pretty shitty in my opinion considering he was number 2 in the world for like 6 years
It's not much. People forget he was 7 years in the UFC. Training camps are expensive and he was the long time number 2 WW on the planet.
Dana, give your fighters more money!
No shit! I don't understand why these crybabies are complaining about someone else's pay! It makes no sense whatsoever. They sound like a bunch of teenage girls.
Oh, and that's not even sponsor pay, or any extras like making gym appearances and seminars.
Sherdog needs to quit obsessively bitching about what a fighter gets paid.
We went over that already!
