Wow, didn't realize Sonnen made that much.

it's crazy how much less the WEC guys make overall than the UFC guys, but yet they (at least seem to) have so many more injuries...

and the last WEC event was better than some UFC events for sure.

and even though brock larson had one of the higher paydays @ $24k, that crazy long 6-month suspension is really going to stretch his paycheck.

i think these guys are definitely underpaid, just like the undercard UFC fighters... they're putting their bodies at risk, and frequently get hurt enough to not be able to work (even if it's only for a little while), even the lowest salaries should be more like $10k than $2-3k...

and it's not like the promotions can't afford it.

I would have to agree with both of you.
