The interviewer said something like: “It’s a different company, but obviously there is that UFC money still sitting there.”

That has to be the worst interviewer ever. So does he expect Zuffa to take money away from the UFC and help fund smaller fighters who are drawing less money on their own? Without saying it, he was saying the bigger guys should subsidiaze the smaller guys.

Absolutely stupid.

Worst Interviewer Ever?

Not even close.

It’s the interviewers job to get the interviewee to step outside the box, answer different questions, create a little stir. I don’t think the interviewer believes that Zuffa should take money from the UFC to help the WEC Fighters. But why not ask Uriah to get some sort of detailed response.

This is no different then any other sport. The guys at the beginning lay the groundwork for future stars to make more money. Stinks for guys like Faber, but that is the way life works.

Faber should not be getting large sums of money. They can’t even get their show on PPV because it wouldn’t sell too well. The market has dictated that he is only worth what he is getting.

Anybody who thinks he should be getting Rashad Evans type of money is either ignorant or just a Zuffa hater.

I agree with you but.

“Anybody who thinks he should be getting Rashad Evans type of money is either ignorant or just a Zuffa hater.” I hate this kind of statement they cut all possibilities of discussion. It’s like saying: If you disagree then you’re dumb. Not good.

It’s funny to see urjah, as a close friend, doubting bj’s conditioning.

Ha.

At 6:46ish, Urijah discusses his potential book coming to “fruitrition.”

Mmmmm, fruitricion.
