All I really want to see if Melvin sleep Danzig, Lawler sleep Voelker, and Jake vs. Rory. Nothing about this card seems interesting at all.

and lol @ the Women's division being deep than the Flyweight division, seems like in 3 months there's already been more women's fights in the UFC happening than Flyweight fights and that shit has been around for a year and a half.

Really not looking forward to Mighty Mouse hopping around the cage for 25 minutes swinging at air and getting a UD from it. Hopefully Moraga can catch him.

Man, I didn't really pay attention to the lineup on this but I'm actually gonna put boxing on hold to watch this. I think Rory is a douche but he's pretty good. I wanna see that main event too. I like that they are putting the lighter weights on these free cards.

Yeah it's a great way to build the lighter weight classes since they don't sell on PPV. They can still get big prime time fights and be seen by a lot of people.

Just wish the UFC would sign some more Flyweights, Dana White said there were a ton of Flyweights in Mexico and South America they were looking at, dude said this shit months ago and nobody has been signed.

It's funny when almost the entire division is top 10 ranked.

Man, Lawler impressed me. I turned it off in time to catch the boxing card in showtime though during the Rory fight which ended up being the best card I've ever seen.

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.

For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC on FOX 8 bonuses to Guillard ("KO of the Night"), Johnson ("Submission of the Night") and Herman and Smith ("Fight of the Night").

In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event
