If I didn’t know any better, I’d think that this was a WEC.
The only people on this card that got paid anything were the established stars. All of the TUF guys received the same 8+8 deal, except for Kimbo slice, who we already knew was getting a bigger deal than anyone else. He received 25,000 flat for his victory over Houston Alexander.
The days top earner is Frankie “The Answer” Edgar, who made 46,000, and then made an additional 25,000 grand for fight of the night, adding up a grand total of 71,000.
