professional sports, that might not seem like a lot of money. But in fighting? In the UFC? There were guys who’d been competing in the UFC for years who weren’t making close to that kind of money. There was plenty of resentment about that, for anybody comparing purses. And I soaked it up. I let all the old criticisms about being boring, schlubby, or afraid of legit top-five fighters instantaneously transform into criticisms about being overpaid and overvalued
