Cormier only made 180k (90k show and 90k win bonus), while Johnson's was just for showing up :o.

holy shower :o wtf ???

Uriah Hall only 14k ??? i would have thought he is a bigger draw than that

Hellopplz

Yeah some salaries are crazy! But guess with Hall losing a few when he came in dropped his value. If he won TUF would be making more you'd imagine with the hype around him.

He's definitely change his style which I'm disappointed with.  Dana love him because he was always going for the big knockout, but now he seems just content to win matches by decision. What a shame.

Did he get knocked out by someone? That may be why, seems odd to change if he wasn't finished

Thats the thing I don't think he did.  I remember there was a fight where it went to decision and I thought he won but the win went to his opponent and he said how disappointed he was etc, so you'd think he'd have more reason to finish opponents!

That would help a bit :P. Think it was his 2nd fight in the UFC against Howard that was close, but was a loss. Think he's been trying to fight more conservatively for the wins since. But irrc, he then stopped Leben not long after, so always just depends which Hall turns up :-X.

UFC in Mexico is just a bad idea, every fighter seemed to suffer from the altitude

Yail Rodriguez is a class above, future top 5'r for sure

Eddie Alvarez learned the hard way not to blow your nose when its broken :o instant eye swollen shut ???

Cain Velasquez has the mother of all chins and Werdum was very impressive, banked on Cain not acclimatising and it paid off

Good call, he looked gassed which I've never seen from him before!

It's getting closer to Aldo vs McGregor, what's everyones thoughts?  Just checking the odds out now and I like the look of Aldo to win by KO or submission @ $3.20.  I think emotions are going to be high and they both will go in looking for the kill, don't see them making it to 5 rounds.

If Aldo keeps his head he will pick McGregor apart, he is still technically raw, Aldo should knock him out with a counter hook after Conor blitzes, he always pushes off after he rushes in, when your pushing off your hands are down ;)

Only thing is I think Conor has got under Aldo's skin and think it's Aldo who's going to bring the fire, I see Conor being nice and calm…till bam…he's gets the Irish knocked out of him!  ;D
