    MMA fighters are way underpaid. Meanwhile the UFC execs make millions.

  3. Some Guy says:

    One thing you idiots don’t realize is that all of these guys have contracts. So these figures here are just bonus fight money. They still have an annual salary they get paid. This is just bonus money for the fights.
