fob - Say he fights 4 times a year at 3/3 and wins all 4 times. That's 24k/year before taxes. Does that even cover rent and food?
Way to completely ignore sponsorships, extra money he'll get for instructing now that he can claim to be a UFC fighter, whatever bonuses he gets in those fights, and whatever locker room bonuses UFC gives him.
Unless your Randy, Chuck, Hughes, or frankling, your not getting a locker room bonus. I know a couple guys who train at AKA, I wont name names but they have never even heard of such a thing. Its a myth that fanboys want to believe in to think everything is right.
Just like the PPV bonus myth. According to meltzer, there are only 6 guys that have that written into their contracts and the only bonus the fighters get in the locker room is the fight of the night/ko/sub bonus

UFC should start fighters @ $5k and bump them up $5k for each win. Lose a match and its down 1 rung unless it was fight of the night. Win 3 straight matches and $20k becomes your new rung.
bruddahoodaman - 3k for madigan? shit, I don't think i'd get in a ufc cage for that little.
How much money do you think Madigan brought to the UFC on Saturday night? I guarantee they lost money on him. And what other show is he going to go to that will pay him more? Just the facts.

Matt Arroyo has already gone on record saying he got a locker room bonus of 5-10k after one of his undercard fights.
