I still think the way you fought could have been more courageous and you should have done more to engage him. However, your explanation is very plausible and where I think anyone with a clue on here should agree with you is that you guys are paid peanuts in comparision to pretty much any other professional sport. I think the ufc treats you guys like dogs and Im hoping that some of these upstart feds like Affliction, HDNet fights or even Elite XC can get to where they have a competitive product and pay you guys right.

I talked to an undercard fighter after the last cincinatti event (not going to mention his name) and he told me he was paid 4,000. 4K to cover his travel, training, living expenses etc.

I really do hope you guys get paid what you should. Wish you all the best where-ever you are going to fight next.
