Dana is a snake man, these guys have to hope they get FOTN or SOTN just to pay some damn bills.  You train for at least 3 months for 3 grand.  Id punch Dana in the fuckin face for that shit!

Probably because he lost like 3 or 4 fights in a row.

there's little or no shame in losing to 2 guys that are ranked in the top ten in that class (sherk & diaz) and joe riggs is no slouch either,his last fight in the UFC was a win over Neer so that's probably NOT why he's not under contract

even his brother nate said nick was gettin screwed over by the UFC after he won the TUF final right to rogans face on TV

who knows though,maybe you're right ?


still say a win over the guy they consider #1 should at least get ya in the door of that top ten

And lets not forget about Gomi...I dont give a shit if he smokes weed, he beat Gomi's ass!

All the fights he lost were to top notch guys in close decisions.  He destroyed Gomi in an epic battle.  I like Nick.  A real STREET fighter in the CAGE.

UFC is just another american corporation where only the selected few REALLY make the money,you start out low on the totem poll and you work your way up just like any other free enterprise....

I'm pretty sure at this point dana dos'nt even look at MMA as a sport,sure he markets it as a sport, and he'll tell you it's a sport,but I'm fairly sure at his levels it's HIS business...... and he'll let his fighters call it a sport,and he'll let the fans call it a sport

absolutely. undercards in boxing make atleast 20k. if they are ppv i am sure they are in the 6 figure range. the embarrassment with the ufc is that the MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD made 120k.

really. in every organization?

and besides, boxing been around forever. and a lot of money over the years been poured into that, where as ufc is still new.

over time the payments will rise.

if they are on ppv it is absolutely true. i have seen small boxing events where the healiners got 10k and the undercards got 3k. that is a non televised sorry event compare that to the ufc and tell me thats not right.

on a ppv boxing card the fighters are making the cash

well the sales from tickets pays the fighters. so you take away whatever it takes to pay the location and set up of the event and pocket the rest from the ppv
