Dana is 100% right on this issue. ESPN is just fishing for a controversial story. Forrest hit the nail on the head. Look at a card, look at some of these no name fighters that some die hard fans have never even heard of. Imagine the general public? Do you think the UFC is making any $ off of them? No way, probably a 100% loss no matter if it's a cable or ppv fight. You win 1 fight or put up an impressive showing, you have the opportunity to make more $ in the next fight.
Look at the UFC FX 1 card, there is at least 8-10 fighters that even DIE HARD fans has a clue about. If they pay those guys 30k or more that some people think they soooooooo deserve, the UFC wouldn't be profitable in the long run. Especially on free cable where they don't make money.

i don't know about 100 percent. It didn't hurt to throw out all the company yes men. Guys have complained for years about the money and some have been cut for talking about it. He say's espn plays dirty lol. I agree with that but he works for Fox the dirtiest player in the game. this is apples and oranges. The ufc owns their fighters and promoters own the boxers not ESPN. Where was Tito or Rampage. I bet they were throwing up listening to this hogwash. Yes i know they made big money. Tito after a relentless campaign for the fighters and Rampage after making a movie. I wonder if Hendo feels everyone is getting a fair shake? If it wasn't for Strikeforce Hendo's career might be over. Whatever i love the product and i will still watch.

Tito and Rampage complaining about money is a joke. They make millions off of their fights. I'm talking for each one, not all of them combined!
GSP even said that in his last fight, he made EASILY 3-4 million dollars. Really? Guys like Tito and Rampage are going to complain about similar money? GTFO of here.
The guys and people who are pissed are the ones who put their blood sweat and tears into MMA before it boomed. They're just pissed they aren't getting paid what the guys TODAY are getting paid. I don't blame them for feeling like they missed the boat. But what is the UFC supposed to do?

Can both guys lose? I think these guys are #1 and #2 on my most hated fighters list. WTF lol I hate Sonnen more though.
Dickserv thinks he's going to get toyed with? My ass. Bisping is a better striker then Sonnen(comical to even say that LOL), and has good wrestling.
Sonnen caught a tremendous break here cause a fight with Munoz was gonna be tough for him but then again Bisping is the most underrated fighter in the UFC. The guy never catches a break because of his big mouth. Bisping has stayed with wrestlers in the past and is pretty good off his back. Then again when Chael starts disrespecting Bispings power Bisping is in trouble.
man this fight is right around the corner. That is not good for Bisping. 28th. To me that is a huge disadvantage for Bisping.
Bisping had to have been preparing for a ground fight. Maia wouldn't have tried to keep it standing anyways. We all know Chael wants it on the ground. IMO, I think Bisping is the one who gets the advantage here. Chael was probably training for Munoz and his wrestling. Different angle now that he's gonna fight a guy with good wrestling, but prefers to keep it standing.
In terms of the short notice that is. I certainly think Sonnen is the better fighter. But I don't see how the hell you think the short notice favors Sonnen.
