They must love these cars, hardly have to pay any salaries! Someone like Bisping takes something like half this payout on his own.

Thats what Fame and recognition means .
Dana should put Fedor in the next HW TUF and then if he wins he gets in the UFC. Hey all he wants to fight is young guys or cans. It would be perfect for both parties.
Huge Fedor fan, just can't stand M-1 right now. They are screwing and leaching this guy for everything, like Don King did Tyson.
8 k is still pretty good for your first fight in the UFC, straight off TUF. Still could be hire, but thats a start. i remember a few years back seeing them paid around 3k only
