The pay is on the slide and shows you need to remain at the top to earn the big bucks. $200k per year is nothing for the expenses involved.

we won't know the long-term repercussions for these guys until many years from now. I would imagine that UFC is very careful to word their contracts just right so that they are not financially liable for lifelong damage that being in the sport is likely to cause for many of these guys. We'll find out in 10-20 years.
Guaranteed brain damage for many of them sadly. We are seeing his with the rugby players now who whilst training are getting lost not knowing their way home. Dementia is a problem after too many bangs to the head.
This is all fine and dandy (in a way) if they are correctly compensated but I think UFC and MMA in general is the first time we have ever seen people getting the crap kicked out of their heads while making as much money as a McDonald's assistant manager.
