    It's all about the money part 2

    Hedy Gerges was arrested for dealing\attempting to deal 128kg of cocaine, sad as he was one of the best young up and coming talent in the muay-thai\kick boxing scene. Funny that he name his training suplment ''not cocaine''. Guess it was cocaine after all

    Very misleading numbers. Most fighters earn significantly more than their UFC salaries through sponsorships/ locker room bonuses.

    Well, the article itself states that the numbers don't even include additional bonuses or cuts of PPV given to some of the time fighters.

    Anyone that reads that and thinks Michael Bisping was paid more money last year BY THE UFC than Brock Lesnar, is a moron. And I'm talking simply from the UFC exclusive of endorsements, sponorships, etc.

    You can bet that GSP, Lesnar and Silva all made more than Bisping after getting a cut of the PPV. Another key piece of information that was left out was how many times these guys fought. Some fought more than others.

    I think everyone is aware that UFC fights have many steams of revenue, however Bisping coming in that high in any list is rather surprising to me.

    He's hugely popular in the UK, he's the UFC UK posterboy.

    They said he was a thug.


    He'll never see the light of day again with that much coke. If its anything like the US he'd get 100 years + no parole/.
