Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
He got cut...then went to bellator, obv after fighting there, the ufc offered him a contract which increased tenfold as to draw him away from them. 500k??????
meanwhile DC is 150k? :what:


Nah. Rumble went to WSOF.

He wasn't making that much and came back to UFC for like 105/105 or something like that.

Won 3 straight fights and renewed his contract to what you see it is now, 500k.

The only part I'm not sure about is whether he is on a new deal, or if the 500k was contacted as a title bout salary when he came back.

We'll know next time he fights hopefully

I wanna know the deal DC is on. Why he keeps getting baby money compared to his opponent.

That was just a knock on how Dana said Ronda vs cyborg will get 2 mill guys. When we know UFC doesn't get a lot of views plus DC isn't really a draw. Especially that fight against bader if jones vs DC couldn't hit a mill.... The next DC fight won't probably hit 200k

Doesn't change my statement but I know what you are getting at.

How much could he be possibly making on the back end is what I'm asking with UFC's recent ppv stint.

He got $90k for the Jones fight. I think jones received $500k

He gets $180k here and Johnson recieves $500k

We know he's not getting more money than Jones. So it's safe to say he probably isn't getting more money than Johnson either. Maybe being intern champ changes all that.

Technically dc is the undisputed champ. I'm guessing Jonea was verbally promised a title fight.

That's like a movie montage scene.

As a matter of fact this whole situation is like a movie. The once cocky and proud champ loses his belt and goes to prison because of his ego getting out of control, his mortal enemy steps up to win his title, and then the former champ meets a wise, old mentor in prison that helps him get his head on straight and get his life back together.
