the fuck are you talking about? Cote makes what he deserves. He has lost all the top contender fights he's had, as well as the chance to step up in terms of rankings and pay. This is his what, 3rd run in the UFC I believe? Aslong as he fights a minimum of twice a year, and loses, he's still making 66k even if he loses (hes getting 33/33 according to UFC 178 payouts) and has the potential to make 132k a year if he fights twice and wins, like he did in 2015.
Considering he has been cut from the UFC twice due to losses, it's impressive enough he's even made it back. And considering the level of competition he regularly faces, he's making very good pay
also, what type of terrible business plan allows the UFC to pay "Exciting fighters" a guaranteed 75/85k" after each fight, regardless of whether or not they won, or if it was "exciting". Huh? What is his incentive to win if he gets paid the same anyways. Unless he is either a HUGE draw (which he's not) or top contender (which, once again, he isn't anymore), he doesn't deserve that kind of deal. Usually the only people who get paid in flat amounts are guys like Lesnar, Overeem, Silva (which in retrospect may have been a bit more than he was worth) because they mostly headline PPV's and get a % of buys.
