I wish I could make 8k for taking Aderall.

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.

glad to see Sanchez got paid what he deserves

don't think of it as 8,000... think of it as 16,000 with a 8,000 penalty for losing
