I gotta believe that Affliction (or M-1 Global) picked up the tab for Mousasi’s salary as it’s obvious he had to be paid more than $2,000
This guy needs to be in the UFC ASAP!!!
I’d like to see him fight Anderson at 205lbs.
i know affliction for a way long time but not in the mma only the products they have,,,,lots and lots of cash alla over the States,Canada,Europe(its been going crazy there) anywayz they have cash so i think they should start investing on fighters even more…when i saw the payouts posted up here,,,oh man dont get me started,,,it sucks…Mousasi is the new LHV Champ,,,he killed Sobral and he gets 2,000$ , Amir i wouldn’t say no on the fight with Anderson but dont forget how hyped up he is,,,he just dominated Forest like he was nothing!!! i would give him a couple of not so important fights so he could ajust in the right way into the ufc.Ashame also about Cyborg’s payout !
