I still dont like how little they pay some of the fighters, even if they are the small guys. 3000 $, come on ufc, these guys are training everyday like hell for weeks at a time, throw them a friggan bone.

I don't like it either, but there are fighters willing to fight for that much, so (in a big business frame of mind) why pay them more?

I like the pay for Randy and Tim. I was expecting Tim to get more but I'm glad he didn't.

Nope, sponsorship money is not disclosed. Most promotions will help their fighters find sponsor money.
The salaries also do not include any cuts from the PPV buys, if any were offered. That's usually reserved for main eventers only. Randy may have had a deal with this.

It isn't great but they are getting also thier 'shot', those guys are first and second fight guys in the biggest MMA company at least in this country. You know what guys playing basketball over seas get? I do and 3g's for 1 nights worth of work (they also train all year round) would make them happy. They also have to pay sometimes that amount to come back to the states and fly stay and buy admission to big time camps just to hope to impress someone. None of these guys should be fulltime fighters till they get some wins and sign a contract, so they should have other income. Don't get me wrong, it isn't the greatest but those shirts they wear when they win also get them some money.

They're employed by the atheletic commissions, not the org, so I can imagine. Not much.

Kampmann is awesome, I wanted to see his fight. Fitch is okay too, but I like Kampmann more.

They didn't show the division between show and bonuses, but its pretty easy to figure out for many of them. Notice none of the low level guys who made $3000 won. Likewise, the winners of those fights made double that. For the vast majority of UFC fights. The bonus equals the regular pay. Thus cut the winner's purse in half to see what they made just to fight.

It always amazes me when you see someone get paid less than the guy he beat.
On a brighter note .... mad props to the mods for finally banning MFL.
