I thought they all got paid to do jobs. I had no idea the power of jiu-jitsu at the time... and I was a teenager.

I can't predict the outcome of the fight but I believe the only way Mir can win is with submission and for that Mir will have to break both of Lesnars arms. As for Lesnars payday I don't think this fight is about money. Most replies on here are anti Lesnar and that’s ok.

I’m sure he’s not getting paid Corey Hill money but I’m just as sure he’s not getting paid Chuck Liddell money. Mike you must not know much about mr. Lesnar. He made 500 large for his first MMA fight and he is not the kind of guy to take a huge pay cut (although my guess is he is probably making less than 500k for his first fight). Read some old wrestling observers, Lesnar has always been known as a guy who demands large paydays (sometime the largest). The UFC isn't getting off cheap with him, especially since they are banking on his name to sell a lot of PPV's (and I am sure Lesnar and his agent know this, hence his asking price was large). Don't be surprised if the commission report show him making the most on the UFC 81 card (a card thats featuring 2 former UFC heavyweight champs and a Former Pride heavyweight champ). So yeah he may not being making Chuck Liddell money (since Chuck is the highest paid fighter in the UFC), but I am sure that he is in the top 10 if not the top 5 highest paid UFC fighters (or will be I should say since he has yet to fight). Make no mistake, the UFC is hoping Lesnar wins this. He is much more marketable than Mir and already has a fan base. They need to generate excitement for their pathetic Heavyweight division and they are hoping Lesnar can be the guy to help them out with that. # # 7 Mike MacLeod Says:
