UFC on Fox 5 Salaries

The top fighters' pay has come a long long way since UFC 1, but there is still a huge discrepancy with the fighers on the undercard. It amazes me that there are some guys who still fight for less than $10,000 per fight guaranteed in the UFC. That seems ludicrous considering how much money the UFC rakes in on these events. Of course, I guess if there were no fighters willing to take that much money, the amount would have to go up...free market and supply/demand and all that... Even so, it still seems like a paltry amount for what these guys are going through and where they are fighting...the fight in the NFL of fight leagues. Anyways...here are the numbers...
