Yeah. I saw that too. For some reason though, I'm leaning towards what Dana was saying. Dana has been notorious for being secretive about contracts, but Randy's agent could easily dispel those numbers if he wanted to. Simply tell us how much he WAS getting paid and it would be done. For him to lawyer speak around it tells me that, while it might not have been 3.5 million a fight, it was closer to that than it was 250k.

Great quote from Dana

“He definitely belongs to me…. There’s no way I was going to let anybody come in from another organization and make more money or have better deals than my guys who have been with me for a long time and helped me build this business. To be honest, I think Randy would smash Fedor. He’ll beat him easily … Fedor is over-hyped, overrated. The guy hasn’t fought anybody in the last year and a half, two years.”

This is par for the course for DW. If he had signed Fedor he would have been on TV talking about how much of a beast Fedor is.

While I don't think he would "smash" him, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities for him to win.

Here are my picks. No breakdowns, shoulda done this earlier in the week!

Franklin over Silva(picking with my heart over my head!)
Vera over Sylvia(is anyone rooting for Tim?)
Gurgel over Roninson(I think this one is fight on the night)
Bonnar over Schafer
Belcher over Stanes
Okami over McDonald

Anderson Silva is a ****ing beast

No doubt. Who the hell is gonna beat him? Henderson won't drop (and I don't even know if he could beat Silva right now), and unless Silva moves up toe 205 for some stupid reason, I think the title is his for a while.

Henderson's the only guy I can see beating him

I still think Vera got robbed, I had him as 29-28, winning the first two, losing the third

Maybe Mayhem or if Dana imports Paulo Filho from the WEC

You thought Vera was "robbed"? Really? I didn't see him do much of anything that fight. He had a takedown and one flurry that I counted. Thought Sylvia not only dictated the pace and style, but practically forced Vera to hold on to him as he was getting outstruck. I was quite disappointed in Vera to be honest. I think he REALLY needs to drop to 205. He's just too small for that division.
