But when you look deeper, Ronda makes 55k to show and DC makes 80k to show. That really isn't very much when you figure how much these fighters spend on training camps. It's no wonder most top fighters usually fight to a guaranteed decision, there's so much money on the table that could be lost fighting flashy

That's why I think these MMA guys are being robbed by the UFC. UFC makes so much money off a top PPV to only pay these guys so little.

If you compare to boxing and when someone like Mayweather fights, he gets 30+ million while someone like GSP or Jon Jones gets a fraction of that with the same or more risk than boxers.

According to this article GSP made 9 million last year but he fought 2-3 times.
