I wish I could make 8k for taking Aderall.
Agonistes Says:
does anyone else feel like Fioravanti got screwed? I mean i would laugh at a $10,000 paycheck, but there are guys on this card making 8 grand for their first and probably only UFC appearances, plus two guys who collected their checks without even fighting. i don't think a whole lot of people thought that Fioravanti was gonna beat Sanchez, but come on, he earned way more than that.
ol'pappy Says:
glad to see Sanchez got paid what he deserves
sEAn Says:
don't think of it as 8,000... think of it as 16,000 with a 8,000 penalty for losing
Alex Says:
I feel so fucking bad for evan tanner, you guys. I really hope he lands on his feet with affliction or something
The Bloc Says:

JAY Says:
I agree. I thought grove would kill tanner but seeing what I saw from tanner I no longer think he is washed up I give him props and wish the best for him.
