Wow, that is freakin' ridiculous.

Why? Chuck is the face of the UFC, he brings in millions and millions of dollars. Jardine is not a household name going into the fight. When Jardine holds the belt for an extended period of time and sells out arenas he'll make Chuck money.

Damn Arlovski looks like a skinny dude compared to you.

You don't think that gap could stand to be narrowed just a little bit??? :wtf:

Two fighters paired up for a fight should never have such a huge gap in pay.

Why not? It's all about who's the draw.

Hate to bring wrestling into this, But Hogan always deserved to get more as he put the asses in the seats

yea hes not that big of a dude hes just shredded

I'd say 6'4 is pretty big. Awsome pick. I'm seriously thinking about training and fighting

well compaired to me... i dont realize how big i am sometimes

Arlovski should let the beard grow, instead of shaving a beard inside his true beard resulting in a five oclock shadow growing out of his beard.

Yeh, but it takes two fighters for a fight. I'm not saying the bigger draw doesn't deserve more, but there shouldn't be an absurd gap like that. It's not like Keith Jardine was some last second fill in that was walking by outside. He's nowhere near the draw that Liddell is, but 14k vs. 500k is ridiculous.

Boxing has huge gaps as well. I'm sure when Tyson was fighting, he was getting millions more than his competition.

Depends on who he was fighting...Holyfield, Lewis, even Spinks probably not. But against the Peter McNeely's and Francoise Botha's of course.

EXACTLY my point. Keith Jardwho?

Jardine isn't that much of a nobody, and UFC likes to push their boys from TUF. And Jardine is one of those boys.

OMG i hope this Joe Scorala guy gets booted out hes suchs a fucking pussy.

Oh wtf.. Serra should have booted his ass

This black guy probably gets submitted in like 20 seconds.

WTF is up with all this Christian bullshit Matt Hughes is spewing?

Hughes is a nut case

It didn't really come off like he was forcing it on his guys though. They're not allowed to read, no tv, no phone, no nothing, he found a loophole and got them the one book that he could get away with. They have the option to read it, it didn't come off like they were mandated to do so.

haha if youve ever had a coach in anything before then you realize that he WAS basically forcing it on them. Not to mention the mandatory prayer and bible study time...

Yeah cause I haven't been doing MMA for 12 years or wrestled since I was 6. I have had a coach, shit I've been in lock ins for event prep. It sucks, being able to read anything - even the bible would have been very accepted by anyone.

Mac didn't read, he was encouraged one last time but not forced. Hence he didn't read. And I will however agree that the prayer is a bit much - though I can't comment if they're forced to.

:roll: haha easy tiger... the way hughes came to him that second time is the exact same way any coach comes up to you when you have a situation where he says its optional but everyone knows he expects you to do it. you cannot argue that....


therefore hughes = nut case

I absolutely guarantee Keith Jardine was paid more than the record shows. Dana White always looks after his guys when they deserve it.

And it looks like Matt Hamill is out of a rematch with Michael Bisping and the rumour is it's Bisping vs. Houston Alexander in Newcastle in January.

Why can't Bisping fight in the States?

It dont matter. Alexander is gunna punt his head off his shoulders and into the crowd in the first 10 seconds of the match.

I'll put £100 on Bisping winning in the first round. Alexander is untested against any skilled fighter who won't stand in front and bang.

The Bisping vs. Hamill rematch was meant to happen on the November show in New Jersey.

Alexander is gonna distroy him..

:(

thats sucks i wanted alexander and wanderlei to go at it

HAHA ur nuts... he didnt even beat hamil... he was handed the win and other than the TUF finals the only people that bisbing have defeated have been elvis sinosec, eric schafer and a split to hamel that he did not win if he was in the states meanwhile houston has demolished jardine and sakara

Jardine "stands in front and bangs" too so I have no idea why yopu're using that as an argument..

he means alexander hasnt gone against a fighter who doesnt focus on stand up

Not taking anything away from Alexander. People are getting over excited about a man in his mid 30s with less than 2 minutes UFC experience. He hasn't had any pressure in his fights either. Bisping had shows build on his name. Granted he looked like shit against Hamill but that's one fight. Liddell looked like shit in his last 2 fights but I'd still tip him against 95% of the 205lbs division.

I really don't care about his UFC experience..

A bad mother fucvker is a bad mother fucker regaurdless of where he honed his skills..

I mean, I beat that street fighter, King Kimbo, given two monthes to train, could fuck up alot of UFC heavyweights..

THIS JUST SIGNED - Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans main event in November.

lol wow he gets a contreversial decision and they they say fuck Tito ( trains with Hamill i believe ) and give Bisping, Tito's fight lol. I guess Tito was asking for a shit load of money that they werent going to pay.

yaaaaaaay a fight between two undersized 205 lbers!!!!!
