Last year we watched Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum take years off their own lives in their five round masterpiece and I asked when fighters like that would take home million dollar paychecks.

This year we have another fight of the year contender, one of the best fights ever really, and the UFC is still paying their champs paltry sums compared to what the company makes.

Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
