thats the kind of money it takes to get fighters like him on the books, hes well worth the cash IMO. Hes looking at earning millions from his 6 fight deal, and if he does eventually return to Pride he will make evn more again.

Good deal; the top guys currently under contract should have some leverage when you see the big jump in salaries for international fighters like Croa dn rampage...

that kinda money was probably necessary to get him to come to the ufc in the first place, but i can see a number of fighters who allready fight in the ufc cant be too happy about it and wants a raise

He's better than Chuck and he was one of the most popular fighters in Pride. Silva should be more pissed than anything.

yes, he does.

you should have known something for him to leave pride to fight in the US, despite competition not close to pride's HW.
