Wasn`t that Kevin Rosier?

iirc it was a different fighter
I think heās the only one who claims to have been paid an appearance fee, but then didnāt he kind of backtrack or wouldnāt answer questions about it after he made the claim?
You nailed it partner.
Art was paid $20,000.He had the choice of $20,000 or a percentage of the company and he chose the cash.
He answered the question on a couple of different interviews.He might have stopped answering the question,but the cat was out of the bag.
Zane Frasier?

yes i believe that is the man
Tesla Tuli (sp?) got paid the mostā¦ or was it Jimmerson
Jimmerson
Gracie never grabbed a hold or landed a single punch, but that didnāt stop Jimmerson from tapping out and heading home to collect his money. Reported as anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000, Jimmerson was the highest paid participant in the tournament besides the eventual winner. And while he didnāt depart the cage basked in glory, he told Sherdog that he still believes things could have been different:

When broached about how much he was paid for UFC 1, Jimmerson bobs and weaves conversationally. Despite having stated he made $20,000 in previous interviews, nearly half the tournament prize of $50,000, he will offer no further substantiation.
āI canāt kiss and tell,ā he quips.
And I had to dig deep to find a interview when he said that he was offered a percentage.
Hopefully itās timestamped.
This UFC veteran hasn`t been able to walk a straight line since fighting Hermes Franca.
Who am I talking about?
