    why would machida want to fight evans again? two reasons...


    A. $$$$$

    B. a promised title shot


    otherwise, it's a pointless fight for him


    so instead dana will pay tito another half mil? then he will complain after evans lays on tito for 15 minutes...awesome

    I don't blame machida for asking for more money. He already KTFO evans and he's already behind on training for this fight. **** white, i'm glad machida said no.

    Machida's still the loser in this one, as much as he deserved more money, he just didn't get it out right, especially to Dana. Now he doesn't fight for who knows how long still, delaying his title shot. Dana might be a ***** and do the same he did with ''Jon Fitch'' and make him work a lot harder than some for a title shot now.

    Loving the fact that Leben and Sonnen stepped up to the plate like that. That is hardcore.

    The money issue is interesting. Machida got $60k for Silva, $70k for Evans, $200k for Rua 1, don't know since then.

    His money must have dropped following the 2 losses but it should have gone up following the win. Add to the fact that he is stepping in late to save the card and the salary might not be $200k like Anderson usually gets but I would expect it to be close - maybe $150 or something.

    No it's not. They're both bums. And they're both loosers. Either man get's chump change from Dana on a regular basis. Financially it would have made sense for them as well as the exposure. Im sure neither man was doing it for altruistic reasons.

    It doesn't make sense for anyone in the UFC to get an L for the hell of it. Especially when they give up 20 pounds and preparation time.

    Their records show they would fight the best if they are given the chance.

    Leben doesn't get chump change. Sonnen has only started getting semi decent money.

    Leben vs Silva - $92k for basic and win bonus. That was coming off of a loss as well.

    Chael got $35k for Silva, $32k for Nate, $27k for Okami and $25k for Miller. You can see his money keep going up and it was doubled in the bouts he won.

    Both these guys do good on sponsorship and fight night bonuses.

    They aren't $8k guys who need to sell their souls.

    That's EXACTLY what they are. You wanna kid yourself fine. But that's my opinion and the results speak for themself.
