Fedor has to be pissed about that

Didn’t he just leave a contract that was paying him a million dollars? What’s up with that??

Tim Silvia made over 22k per second. That’s the last time he sees that kind of money again.

Fedor made a lot more money then listed above. Fedor and his camp received a nice signing bonus prior to the fight and they also have ties to the show with M-1. Remember, the UFC offered Fedor in the range of 2 million.

With that being said, Sylvia was definitely overpaid.
