I think that the way they manage their money would have alot to do with it as well. Any smart fighter would be (should be) investing his money wisely as the career of a fighter is usually not a very long one.

Wanderlei makes atleast $600,000 per fight. (Dana White himself said that when he was on the radio show with Jerry Millen)


Plus he apparently got a big bonus for entering the OWGP.



So for fighting Arona, Fujita, Cro Cop, and now Henderson, Wanderlei has made atleast $2.4 million in 4 fights not even including bonuses and advertisements.
