Penick’s Analysis: Dillashaw making less to show than all but one fighter on this list is a shame; the man won and defended a UFC title twice, and is likely fighting for one again in his next outing. Those are the types of fighters on the roster not making enough. That said, there are a lot of healthy disclosed paydays on this card, with many of the fighters at the top getting a cut of pay-per-view revenue as well.
