Underpaid: Chris Lytle. Maybe the UFC is paying him so little in base salary because they figure he’ll come out even when they add the Fight of the Night bonus (he’s won it in his last three appearances), but still, a fighter with 15 UFC fights should probably be making more than $18,000 to show by now. For all the blood he’s shed for the company, he deserves it.
Overpaid: Nobody. How about that.


You are such a pussy. Kill yourself faggot.
