I just saw that Paolo Costa only made 380,000$ for fighting Israel Adensanya :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Then he made 76 000$ ( fined for missing weight)

For being a top 5 fighter in 185 lbs it is very sad but my question is, why does Dana not treat his top 5 fighters fair?

So i guess the only way for making money in UFC is to thrashtalk like Colby for lobby for the republicans during the 2024 election.
 
Because he brings in peanuts. Go to the street and ask a 100 random people who paulo costa is. I'll give you my entire bank account if you can find one person or casual that even knows who costa is.
 
As true hardcores we must band together and set up set up soup kitchens worldwide for these needy UFC fighters. Please send anything you can spare
I have a pair of Arabian goggles for you
 
On the one hand I think a 5 round main event should net you at least a couple of hundred grand.

On the other hand he did miss weight by a whole division.
 
I doubt he’s even going to remain in the UFC or the sport in general with the amount of bullshit he’s been pulling lately. He’s a broken man thanks to Izzy’s actions.

Sounds like you need to talk to someone because the Democrats are jumping a sinking ship.
 
The Izzy fight was his 6th fight in UFC and 14th total and he was making 380K???
That sounds pretty damn good to me.

Some of you guys love to compare to boxing, so please tell me how many boxers are making 380K at 14-0.
And when did 380K become peanuts???
 
As a TUF winner I am sure they have him locked up for a while but regardless he isn't a big draw at all. My guess is if he loses his next fight, that would be 3 in a row, he is close to be cut.
 
Don't sign the contract then. Enough with these dumb ass threads.
A f'n men. If you or your manager are not smart enough to read the contract, that's your fault and your managers fault. Your manager should be fired for incompetence. You signed it. Now you honor it. I'd fight anyone in the world for 380k. Cry me a river bro.
