White confirmed to Fighters Only that Michael Bisping will coach the UK TUF 9 team regardless of what happens in the Leben fight.

With this morning’s news that Dan Henderson would headline UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland with Rich Franklin, immediate questions were raised about what that meant for his rumored TUF 9 coaching bid. Well, according to The Sun, Hendo is still the UFC’s top choice to coach the US team.
The former Pride FC champion will face Rich Franklin at UFC 93 in Dublin on January 17 after the UFC confirmed details of their first-ever show in the Irish Republic.
That was quick. Often times, it’s weeks or even months before the UFC makes an official announcement regarding news that breaks early across the net. Like Randy Couture’s return to the Ocatagon, however, that’s not the case with reports from yesterday that suggested the UFC would be heading to Dublin, Ireland on Jan. 17 to hold UFC 93. The UFC made it official on UFC.com earlier this morning.

Apparently, people get pretty upset when they aren’t paid money that’s owed to them. That’s what I hear anyways.
Everyone knows DREAM is in pretty big trouble, however the severity of the situation is highlighted by recent allegations that many of their fighters, specifically “foreigners,” aren’t being paid for their fights.
The GAEC has released the fighter payouts for UFC 88 “Breakthrough.” 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.
