 |  (9) Comments Marker28: It looks like they low-balled Dustin considering that both fighters came into the octagon with similar experience. thug4less: Grispi was originally gonna fight for the title though. He probably would have gotten twice that if he had won because it was the original fight contract. D_V: The WEC guys all make nothing Mickey knox: It really sucks that Porier made less than Grispi but it is what it is. LOL, Kim's bonus was more than Diaz made at all. IwishIwasMMA: The fuck? Why is a world champion not being paid the most on a card... Weird. Mickey knox: Hey Mike, do me a fav and check your PMs. Mickey knox: Hey Mike, Please check your PMs.
