The lowest I have ever seen in the UFC is 5/5 and that was for a guy who took the fight on a weeks notice and was probably making his UFC debut. There is no way any of their contract fighters are on a 5/5 contract. The lowest they are on is a 10/10. Plus their is a chance for fight/ko/sub of the night bonuses for every ppv. If you put on a great fight and get the best sub/ko of the night there is a chance a lower paid fighter could walk away making close to 70-100k for one fight, (i.e. Warmachine at the TUF 6 finale). That is hardly chump change.
