  1. andrew Said,

    cris cybork 20k for winning gina 125k for losing

    but that is not half as bad as Mousasi getting 2k for winning and babalu 75k for losing

    those salaries should be reversed

  2. Robert Said,

    Those numbers are messed up… But promo wise I guess it can be justified.. Now you have a reason to feel bad for Cyborg. But if she keep murking opps she’ll be getting the big monay.

  3. Yup Said,

    Whoa! -its all about paying the fighter that brings you the money (fans, payperview, merch. etc….) Kinda crazy

  4. dont be an idiot Said,
