Payout Perspective:
We shouldn’t be surprised with the pay of PVZ or Sage. Regardless of what you think of their talents at this point, both are considered draws by the company. PVZ was coming off of a win over Bec Rawlings and her fame from ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Sage won at UFC 200 (where he earned $50K/$50K). Faber was coming off of a loss at UFC 203 and earned $160,000 in that fight. So, his payout here was the same as it was this past September.
sage doesnt deserve half of what he is doing and has no business being in the ufc for that matter
Turd, agreed. He and Van Zant are pushed by White and the UFC because they are blonde “all American” (an insulting concept I might add) types who are popular because of how they look.
Has nothing to do with being blonde All American. Van Zant is getting the Todd Duffee treatment- makes a big debut, followed by getting exposed shortly after. With PVZ, although it does have to do with looks, has nothing to do with the fact that she is how you described. She can also fight- she has a few big wins. You act like non WASPS don’t get pushed in the UFC.
