The Nover loss is a bit surprising. Did he get caught or was he outclassed?

you would think nover would get paid more, and rashad would too hell his TUF contract was 6 figures.. i understand machida getting such a low pay because of the excitement factor but rashad knocked chuck out brutally and knocked forrest out maybe some more pay shoulda went his way..

hughes is overpaid

Machida 140k Matt Hughes 200k come on Dana White pay the Champ more than that. Most expensive wrestling match in history. Matt Hughes didnt even strike Serra.

Nover was out for a brief second. He recovered quickly but it was too late Yves Lavigne had prematurely stopped the bout. Why do you think he was booed all night.

McFedries deserves a raise for sure!

Rashad did get paid more. He got 200k to lose. If he woulda won it probly woulda been a 200k win bonus. Does anyone actually read the article or just the headline?

Rashad makes more than Machida? LMAO!

evans also only recently renegotiated his contract. when he won the belt, he got a new 8 fight contract.

there was obviously a big step up there – before his title fight, i think he was only on 70 grand or so.

still cant believe how little sherk is paid.

when he was lightweight champ, he was only on 50k to fight, 50k to win bonus.

50k for a champ is terrible – he needs a new agent for sure.

matt hughes is a weasel, but defenitely deserves his pay, dude has headlined one of the biggest UFC fights ever and obviously negotiated his contract when he was the champ.

i wonder how long Krzysztof Soszynski will be on 8k to show, 8k to win if he keeps stringing wins together.

Hughes got what he should of. Remember he tied Chucks record for most wins in the UFC. stand up was not part of his game plan which is why he came out south paw only wanting the takedown. Getting the W is worth more than making YOU happy

Hughes will never be champ again but fuckit throw em in there

your right more than likely he’ll never be champ again but there are plenty of top guys he can still beat. Theigo was WAY over weight when he fought Hughes and he knows GSP is on a different level. So his loses came from the top two fighters out there right now. He wants theigo again. I’d like to see it with theigo actually making weight this time, not 20 lbs over

Looks like a lot of fighters got taken care of if you ask me. Most of the numbers are obvious if you look at them, I understand why Machida made less than Rashad and it does make sense. I doubt Rashad will make as much in his next fight. I agree with Hughes making what he made after helping build the company like he did. I was also glad to see some of the other fighters taken care of. I think the pay structure is getting better in the UFC.

What u get paid for each fight is stated in your contract. When your contract expires you can renegoiate. Thats why we see gonzaga and vera who were recently on undercards make a 100k because it was in there contract before they lost and got downgraded to undercard for awhile. I think the ufc can increase your pay for a fight but cant decrease your pay. They also give ppv bonuses to fighters i believe. Like coutore got paid 500000 in ppv bonuses for fighting lesnar on top of the 200k he made.

UFC has some glue horses it needs to get rid of. Namely: Sherk, Hughes and Coleman

ABOUT NOVER

Nover got thrown down and was getting hit. went limp for half a second. In that half a second the ref appeared to have stepped in but then backed off. As the ref backed off NOver got back to his feat. Kyle bradley looked at the ref like what the hell i thought you stopped it. Then Lavine waived off the fight even though Nover had fully recovered at that point… and that was the end of it. He may have went limp but no joke he popped right back up….. was a bull shit call in my opinion and i was there live.

I see it, and it does seem like it was a bit early. However, it looks like that because Ives pulled Kyle off and allowed Nover to recover. Ives seems unsure about stopping fights. He needed to pull him off firmly, and it would have been a better stop without as much controversy. Anyways, Bradley won and would have still won if it would have gone on a second longer.

I think what people forget is the UFC puts you on the biggest stage in MMA. That allows you to get the biggest sponsors. A sponsor won’t pay you big money to put their name on your shorts or T-shirt if you’re fighting in some small hick show. Some of these guys make big money of sponsors because they fight for the UFC. Sometimes the smaller base pay is a trade off.

i think tha these uf guys are good in the house but once they hit the real stage they just look outclassed, people think there great but the majority of them are tommy speers esque

dont be surprise about the salary, it will change once their contract has been renew, machida will got a huge raise for sure!!

Funny to see Brandon Wolf get 3k. I didn’t know he’s 33 years old. He can take his strong bloodline back to the Hilo rock running tournaments after his loss. I did expect much more of a fight.
