(Supposedly he heard a rumor that his management had hidden this from him and he thought the offer was too low, considering he was going to make around $125K for the Affliction fight.) There's definitely no chance he accepted $2K to fight in Strikeforce. Either that's a typo or there was major money being exchanged under the table for tax purposes. I doubt Mousasi would've even gotten out of bed to take a shit for 2,000 dollars.
