Guida is a freaking warrior. Tons of heart. Love to watch him fight.

Ground and pound is hard with such short arms.

I'll never understand what gets people to participate in stuff like this, but it can be very entertaining to watch. Bloody mess by the end.

Kenny Florian probably took home in between 150,000 USD - 300,000 USD for this victory.

That's based on the numbers for his last comparable fight, which were 40k for base-pay and 40k for win bonus (source), and sponsorship deals are probably another couple 100k.

Moving this video to xxovercastxx's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I was just looking at the salaries for UFC 106 and the lowest payout was $6,000 to Jacob Volkmann and that was for losing! At the other end of the spectrum is Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz who each got $250,000.

^A couple of years ago one of the fighters, I don't remember which, said a championship fight often has 1 million USD on the line --once you factor in sponsorships.

That sounds in line with other sports... news articles say Tiger Woods' income is 10% from golf and 90% from sponsorships.
