I’m not your typical mma fan who cries about fighter money. They all make more money than me so I really don’t care. I’m just a fan of fighting I don’t care about the other stuff that you MTV Cribs fans seem to care about
It’s just you’re claiming Nick Diaz Army with your username but you sound like a “company man”.
Moussasi, Bader, Phil Davis, Rory…should’ve all had more UFC run, given us more great fights…but the UFC wanted to pinch pennies. I don’t want Paulo added to that list.
Nick was the first ever to finish Robbie Lawler (other than the fight he got injured in), and he was the first ever finish Paul Daley with strikes. He submitted Gomi, which at that point I believe the only other fighter who also did was Penn
Nate was the first fighter to ever finish Conor McGregor inside the octagon. He finished Melvin Guillard, Rory Markham, Marcus Davis, Gomi, Jim Miller and gray Maynard
Costa has earned FOTN 2x, POTN 2x and fought for the title. He has headlined a PPV and a Fight Night. 6-2 in the UFC.
Said he only made $35k to headline the Fight Night vs Vettori but this article says he made 100k to show so who knows what is true.
Hey you got to take it from fighters like Costa if you want to pay people like Angela Hill $190k to fight on the prelims and lose fights nobody cares about.
I would not be surprised if he is grossly underpaid though.
