Seems like they were paying Andrei pretty well wonder why he has been in a contract dispute with them for so long. Maybe they didn’t think he was worth the money and offered him less. I still think he’s one of the best heavies out there and is a tough matchup for anyone. Anderson deserves a raise after clearing out the middleweight division. He’s been mentioning moving up to light heavy so there are some good matchups for him there. I don’t see anyone of the middleweights that can beat him right now.
