Bisping is paid too damn much.

Rashad is probably one of the million a year types we've discussed before. I feel like he's been left out of the convo though.

I'm shocked stun gun makes so much, but I think he deserves it. He's a poor man's Fitch IMO.

Big Nog may be due a raise if he keeps winning.

It looks like winning the title gives a pretty nice pay raise. 'Shad made $65k base against Forrest but has had 200k or better base pay since. Machida was similar, $70k base pay for the fight against Rashad, $200k his next time out.
