Daniel Cormier, Michael Bisping share stories of the UFC’s generosity

Ever since the Fertittas and Dana White bought the UFC, there has been a steady stream of talk about fighter pay. Many believe that fighters aren’t fairly compensated for their blood, sweat, and tears, and there is even a lawsuit pending against the promotion for what are viewed as unfair business practices.

But not everyone is unhappy with their compensation.

Former champ champ Daniel Cormier took to Twitter today to share a story about receiving an unexpected bonus check from the UFC before the holiday season, that was actually equal to his fight purse back in the day:

Getting ready for Xmas holidays reminds me of 2012 and 15 days before Xmas the @ufc sends me a 10k holiday bonus check.
