On a night of scintilating action both in and out of the Octagon -- Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva fought to a main event Fight of the Night finish and Mirko "Cro Cop" announced to the UFC, "Oh, by the way, I'm outta here. Going back to Japan" -- the UFC was fairly successful on its first stop in Germany.Despite all of the backlash from mainstream German media that is caught in the MMA time warp of five to 10 years ago, UFC 99 drew an announced attendance of 12,854 to the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, accounting for estimated gate receipts of $1.3 million.

These fighters need to start getting paid like boxers do..... PPV income is insane.
These fighters need to start getting paid better..... boxers make millions your top fighters make what 300 k unless your the ice man who has great sponsors where you make all your money .... hands down dana step up
He already makes top 20 boxer money. Only a select few boxers make millions per fight and Tim will never be on that level.
remember you guys only see the disclosed pay, the big name guys usually have extra deals to get points off the ppv
