Seriously though, I find it hard to believe that this dude has 10M. That would make him one of the richest MMA fighters. I just don't buy it. Did Pride pay that well? Doubt it. I'm not sure they paid period. And he's now a professional jobber. Does that pay well? Naw.
He said he got paid 100,000 grand to fight Ernesto Hoost, and over 500,000K when he beat him the second time.
That is about 600,000K right there, so where the other 9 point something million dollars came from, i am not so sure of.
those two fights alone are 600.000
let alone all the other big fight purses he has earned in both pride and k1 + he starred in alot of movies and commercials
he's not lying
He probably made more money than you think fighting in Japan. Apparently him and Cro Cop are the only two mma fighters ever to be officially recognized by the Japanese government, with the emperor there and professional photographers and a little parade and stuff.Someone re-edit that post to include commas.

Yeah, you nailed it. It's not money he made solely from fighting but rather all the other shit he did as a result of the reputation he developed from fighting.i don't doubt about the 10M $.
Acting, pro wrestling, K-1, MMA, game shows, commercials, various other appearances.
at the top of his MMA/K-1 fame, he was getting booked for gigs (not fights) left and right. He really cashed out on his "Monster" persona... Even at the end, when he was fighting cans, i doubt that he'd do it for less than 30-40K net profit per fight...
what i do doubt is that he finished university. That block of uncoherent text makes me (a non-native) embarrassed just reading it.
Now, I hate to be that guy out of respect for the English you've learned (better than most native speakers!), but it's "incoherent" :wink:
