You have to prove your worth. Mirko, Fedor, Vera, Chuck, AA, Randy, Tito all them had to start at about 1000 2000 the more you win the more you get paid, its a simple fact.

Crocop makes 350k for the simple reason at the time they signed him the UFC was stuck with a dead heavyweight division. With Timmy as champ, all they had was luring an old man out of retirement. They needed to give crocop huge money to get him to leave Pride. The same goes for Werdum. It's nothing to do with fighters getting so much more.
Since the purchase of Pride they no longer have to worry about buying fighters from the other org. Nor do they need to worry about fighter retention. They have no where else to really go. I'm really curious to see how the new fighter contracts are going to look since this purchase went through. I have a hard time believing that salaries will continue to rise until another org. can be a legit threat for stealing talent(obviously I'm not talking about the one fight promotions)

I am not sure if we will ever see someone make $350,000 and lose again in under 5 minutes lol.. Dana is certainly going to see to that

at least finally mma fighters get to have decent payouts in the long run, for the longest time they fight for the hardest sport around for peanuts.

That's insane, but if he could make it up with sponsors it balances out. Preventing fighters from mentioning anyone but the UFC sponsor Xyience is wrong.

I agree. I mean, the more money the fighters make, the more they can focus on training and nothing else
