Bottom line however is that Zuffa is getting rich and not the fighters who are putting their body on the line. No way I would fight for $2000. Wouldn't even cover expenses (or does Zuffa cover that?).
I'll fight for 2k.

Hell, that's 2k more than what I am going to get paid when I fight. If I'm lucky I'll get a T-shirt. If I'm real lucky I'll get a free beer.
