With all of the talk of the UFC 57 salaries for the fighters it got me thinking, do you think that the fighters get some kind of bonus for finishing fights inside the distance like the fights of TUF ? This may seem like a dumb question but it got me thinking. Gtranted the guys on TUF weren't getting paid for the fights themselves but I have been wondering if maybe the UFC gives all of their fighters that extra incentive. What do you guys think ? Am I just asking a dumb question here or is this a possibility ?

I know what you are saying.......but if the fighters need an extra incentive to finish the fights early....then they shouldn't be fighting.

The guys on TUF are only getting paid if they stop their fights before they go to the judges. The fighters in the UFC are getting paid to show and then a bonus to win. There's really no need for them to receive an additional bonus for stopping the fight before it goes to the judges.

Didn't I read somewhere that some fighters get a bonus for putting in a good showing or are involved in an entertaining fight.

If so then guys like Riggs, Diaz, Buentello, Aldano, Babalu and Vera all should have got a little something extra. Chuck gets paid enough as is and Eilers gets a cut of the Ultimate KO's PPV.

Aldana got paid damn near nothing.

UFC dont pay as much as pride or k-1

you are completly wrong imo because these ufc fighters are getting paid well at al and if you think about all the time training and buying suplements or whatever these fighters could be loosing money or making like 10 cents an hour
