    rory macdonald and robbie lawler are absolute warriors, i like rory the most but that is just a matter of taste. it´s sad this fight ended with rory unable to continue due to his nose injury, i mean, his nose was broken from the 2 nd round and he still was putting on an amazing fight and hurting robbie while only breathing through his mouth. that 5 th round would have been incredible if rory´s nose bone wasn´t moving all over the place and he had to give up on the fight but anyway, they´re both warriors, rory is a future champ no doubt. best ufc fight ever

      @mariokokan5477 Před 8 lety +2

      He gets a cut from anyone who aspires to be a fighter, because every fighter wants to go to the UFC. Its like NHL,MLB,NFL. I know he only owns 9%, but he will still profit from EVERY world class mixed martial artist as they all go to the UFC. All I'm saying , is just pay the good fighters especially like Rory much more to face adversity and put themselves out there like that.

      You didn't answer the question at all. Dana is a minority partner. He couldn't change the rates without consulting with the Fertita brothers, who actually OWN the majority of the company. Fighters get paid well if they know how to market themselves. Look at Nate Diaz. He went from 20k with a 20k win bonus to $500,000 flat. Unfortunately, not many do know how to market themselves.
