MMA Live Talks with Dan Henderson, Previews WEC 43
Dan Henderson joins MMA Live to discuss his contract status with the UFC and much more. In addition, a preview of WEC 43, a look back at DREAM.11 and The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.
He got paid 250k WITH win bonus (150k). So that means his base was 100. If Dan is getting 100k base, I wonder what Justin McCully, Chris Leben or Eddie Sanchez is getting.
UFC needs to take better care of its fighters.
Last thing I would want as a fighter is to be past my prime and making 20k per fight.
With regards to the comments from # 3 and 4 (Anonymous), I do fully agree. So as a fighter, if they won't pay you correctly, to take up another avenue to make money. If another oppurtunity becomes available, to go get that money. Now, with that said, how many of you still have a issue with Rampage going to do the movie. Again, if you can use your fame to make more money, use it. Its stupid not to.

UFC milks its fighters. Seriously, paying two college dropouts to fight for $5k while making 100x off of that fight is what milking is.
I feel bad for these people. They have to fight to make a living. It is cool when you are young, but once you get old, is it still cool?
