Should fighters stay out of the business side of MMA? Good question, let’s ask Dana White.
Sam Caplan pulled out another quote from Dana’s interview with David Carmichael regarding Urijah Faber. What’s interesting about this quote is what he says about fighters trying to be businessmen.

The FSBC has released the fighter payouts for WEC 36. Keep in mind, these figures represent the base contracted pay the fighter receives from the promotion. These figures do not include any additional “locker room” bonuses or sponsorship money, which in many cases exceeds a fighter’s base pay. These numbers also do not account for taxes, insurance, and license fees.

WEC 36 took place earlier this evening at The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The event was broadcast live on Versus.
Urijah Faber put his WEC Featherweight Championship on the line against Mike Brown.
WEC Middleweight Champ was scheduled to defend his title in a rematch against Chael Sonnen until he missed weight by an astounding seven pounds on his first attempt. The fight still took place, however, it was only a three-round non-title affair.
Jens Pulver looked to get back on the winning track against Leonard Garcia after coming up short against Faber earlier this year.
‘Razor’ Rob McCullough, Jake Rosholt, Donald Cerrone and Nissen Osterneck were also in action.
