1.8??? Damn! I wonder what they were paying Chuck? I think he had fewer fights than any top fighter but his face was all over the place.

chucks highest payday was a 300k purse for beating randy the 3rd time. Thats not including the undisclosed win bonus.

-------------------------------------------
CroCop was paid a base of $350,000 for his first fight. Inside sources say that he is making around $1,000,000 per fight (he gets a % of the PPV buys as well).
Fedor's 1.8 million will not be all garunteed up front "to show" money. That is a mix between PPV %, endorsements, winning bonuses, and regular "to show" pay. I'm willing to bet his "to show" pay will be $500,000 - $700,000 though which isn't chump change by any means.
And I cant belive there putting Keith Jardine who apparently they feel is only worth 8 grand against chuck as a main event for UFC 76.

That surprised me too.
u think so eh? i think alot of people dislike rampage but i really do see him progressing as a fighter. he is a gamerMaybe I'll be eating crow in 24 hrs, but I can't believe anybody thinks Rampage is going to beat Dan Henderson. Rampage is undisciplined and lazy (his trainer's words) and Dan Henderson is a machine. I guess maybe everyone is betting the line, as Jackson is a -150/+120 favorite?

I agree with the below. I just think Henderson is the wrong guy at the wrong time for him. Jackson will either go on to be a great champ or flame out dramatically. There will be no middle ground for him.
In any case, tonight should be some spectacular fightin'!

Are you talking about Hamill?
The Cro Cop fight was just painful to watch. Two loses in a row for him...I wonder what is next for him? I was also pretty impressed with the guy who faught Marcus Davis, I would like to see him fight again.
What a great card. Rampage and Hendo fight was amazing. One of the better fights I've seen in a long time. Hammil definitely got hosed though.
