1st...is this from a reliable source? If it is I am really surprised. Some of those guys don't make nearly enough for the beatings they take.

It all depends on 1) how good of a fighter you are, 2) how well known you are and 3) how well you can negotiate a contract.

UFC has low salaries....

Considering you DO have to be top of the line to even be in the UFC.  It's not like you're a newb.  You have beaten many opponents already.

Fear the ING!

Tru that, but also consider that CroCop gets that $350k no matter what, win or lose, per fight.  A lot of these guys will make like $3k a fight for being a no-name fighter, but can earn twice that IF they win, so they got more to fight for.
