Gegard Mousasi

Any have any idea what Mousasi is doing? Why is he not in the UFC yet. Dude is over in Dream, which is worst then strikeforce.

I think the UFC offered him a contract but it was a laughable amount when it came down to the money terms...He is making more money everywhere else...Also I think he is more into his kickboxing career at the moment

I think that is one of the problems with the UFC is that if you do not except the contract you will now fight in dream and bellator.

A lot of people don't realize what most of the fighters get paid...even the lower tiered pre-lim fighters still get paid around 100,000 a fight and this is with their sponsors...sponsors are what pays them the big money not the UFC...Now people like Anderson Silva, GSP, and Jon Jones they get around 250,000 a fight with the additional ppv buys and sponsors so its over 1 mil...Andersons last fight against Sonnen he grossed well over 7 mil...the money is there it's just Gegard is new to the UFC so it is the chance he has to take to come to the big boys...Yes he is an outstanding fighter that will cause trouble for the middleweight and lwh class but you can't expect anything big when you fight for strikeforce or dream...
