"Well, I'm going to make a lot less. Other than that, I can't say much about it," Gegard Mousasi said. "I'll be making 4 or 5 times less, it's a big difference"
While there's a huge shift and a lot of potential dollars to be lost, the middleweight contender is still banking that these numbers wouldn't be his final income.
