I daresay that that kick was a pretty standard TKD front snap kick, and we know he used to do TKD, so it's likely he's known that kick for a while.

"Thank you, Anderson, for revealing yet another weakness for me to exploit in our rematch. Beating that poor punching bag doesn't impress Uncle Chael, guy. You tipped your hand like a chump poker player at a $5 table in Atlantic City. You may have beaten Vitor, but in the process, you LOST your edge. By beating that husk, you gave me the last page of your playbook. Revel in your time, [because] it ENDS the night you face me. I will mow you down like autumn wheat, AGAIN."

You were right about not betting the Rocha fight. That sweep was great. He really is a badass.Comment

I am excited to see him again. There are no submission wizards at ww, so I think it is a welcome addition to the division, stylistically. I like his style a lot, throwing all those crazy kicks and then just going for broke on the mat. If he can work on his standup a little and now that he has seen what he has to do to be successful in the UFC, I think he can be pretty good in the long run.2012: +19.33

LOL at Franklin and Belfort's discrepancy. Those little guys don't get paid shit. Torres only gets $28k to show... Demtrious Johnson gets $5K.2012: +19.33

A lot of weird shit there.
Vitor getting more than Silva? Silva not getting a win bonus?
Franklin only getting $75K?
Jones already getting $70K to show while Bader is still locked in at only $20K
Torres and Cerrone not getting instant pay raises now that they're in the big show?
. . . At least Forrest got paid.I heart cockComment

I am really surprised that they are willing to pay Vitor $275k to SHOW... while Franklin only gets $75k. I get that Vitor is a big draw in Brazil, but why do they care about Brazil, it doesn't seem to be that big of a market. Can people even afford a PPV in Brazil, they are some poor bastards in Brazil.2012: +19.33

That pay doesn't count undisclosed. I guess we really have no idea what that is. If Franklin really is only getting 75k that is sad though, he was one of the originals. I guess if he isn't brining in the viewers anymore though than ZUFFA isn't going to pay you for them. Anderson gets ppv cuts for sure.1 unit = 300 $Comment

The whole "undisclosed" thing gets overblown. Sometimes shit gets handed out behind the scenes, but I think people make it out to be a much bigger and more widespread deal than it is.I heart cockComment

What strikes me about that list is just how sad Bader's pay is. The "6 figure contract" of TUF is such a joke.Comment
