Name fights where the loser of the first fight was making more then the winner for the rematch

[filthynumber1]

Referring to conor/Diaz 2

Only one comes to mind
Weidman vs silva 2

It's a rarity for sure but there must be more.....

 

[MysticCam]

Probably BJ vs Frankie and if this takes more than 3 pages to turn into a Conor hate thread I'll delete my account

 

[Busa]

GSP vs Serra

 

[KTO]

Mir / Lesnar would be the GOAT

 

[Gunny]

Tyson/Douglas?

 

[damanism]

Probably GSP/Serra II. And also Edgar/Bendo II.

 

[MisdemeanorMMA]

Rhonda and Holm

 

[mb23100]

Mir Lesnar

I think I remember disclosed pay for Lesnar was $500,000 and Mir was$40,000

 

[BKMMAFAN]

Silva/Weidman

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I think I remember disclosed pay for Lesnar was $500,000 and Mir was$40,000

Mir won the first fight.

Or was that your point?

 

[usfbrah]

Tito vs shamrock

 

[skolar182]

I think I remember disclosed pay for Lesnar was $500,000 and Mir was$40,000

That's basically what the UFC is anymore... Pay the fighter for the popularity of his name, and not his fight record or ability. It's nothing but a popularity contest anymore and I'm personally sick of it.

Well mir did get destroyed

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Rhonda and Holm

I wasn't aware they had a rematch

 

[FrankieNYC]

A lot more than it seemed at first.
But GSP/Serra is a perfect example

 

[TapoutforSprawl]

Chuck/Rampage
Tito/Forrest

 

[justbetter]

Liddell / Jackson 2, Jackson 225*, Liddell 500* + most likely a ppv % (edit* neither had win bonuses)
Liddell / Horn 2, Horn 25/25 and Liddell 80/80
Couture / Belfort 3, Belfort 100/40, Couture 150/75
Wanderlei / Franklin 2, Franklin 75/75, Wanderlie 200
Condit / Kampmann 2, Kampmann 42, Condit 57/57
Faber / Barao 2, Barao 70/70, Faber 100/100

Yeah, he did, but what was Lesnar's fight win bonus then....$250,000? If Mir had won he would be taking home $80,000 that night. All because Lesnar is a name and draws a crowd.

 

[BOTTICELLI]

[nanika]

not a rematch but didnt James Toney 500,000 disclosed while randy made 200,000 something. sorry if wrong going off foggy memory.
