  5. azumpire says:

    Joe Lauzon only got $27k? Are you absolutely kidding me? Im pretty sure this kid now holds the record for most “fight of the night” bonuses, and yet for that bloodbath of a fight, he gets 27k? Sure, he got another fight of the night bonus, but jesus. $27k for Lauzon to fight? That is absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!
