I believe the previous poster meant Brown is in a fortuitous and nonstandard situation in regards to fighters and pay. He has longstanding relationships due to being in the UFC fold a long time and building a positive relationships with companies more willing to continue to pay him for "outside fight week sponsorship". This position in non-standard for the vast majority of fighters that are (or will be) in the UFC. Gleison Tibau, Patrick Cote, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida, are others that may fit into this small category of fighters that can float sponsors outside of fight week... but only due to their previous relationships with companies.
