I'm pretty sure the fights were in Phoenix.. unless I'm missing something.

This card was so much better than dynamite Phone Post 3.0

Gaethje gets 100 grand, I can't see the ufc picking him up for a while, at that price. Phone Post 3.0

Nice to see some of those numbers for fighters!

Speed and Power - I'm pretty sure the fights were in Phoenix.. unless I'm missing something.


You are correct.

Nice to see the guys at the top getting a nice paycheck. Definitely a step in the right direction.

You are correct.

Plus he has a big sponsor if I remember correct, he's cleaning up pretty good in wsof Phone Post 3.0

Mma junkie posted that fight in full which I'm very grateful for living in the uk.
It was a great fight and he deserves everything he gets. Phone Post 3.0

Brian Foster seems underpaid. Phone Post 3.0

11

Gaethje also seemed to have a huge grassroots fan base Phone Post 3.0

12

I'm surprised WSOF shells out 100K, good on them.
How local are the $1,000 guys?

13

Branch and Gaethje should stay there forever. They are getting decent checks for fighting guys that are tough but not top 20 fighters. No need to go chasing "UFC glory" when you can make a decent killing fighting less formidable opponents.

Yeah, I agree Phone Post 3.0

Is it just me or does WSOF pay their average fighters more than Bellator?
