The heavy weight Frank mir earned the highest salary at UFC Fight Night 71, held last Wednesday (15), in San Diego (USA). But what caught attention about the former heavyweight champion's payment was not just the amount, around R$680 at the current rate, but the incredible difference between his salaries and that of his rival, Todd Duffee, who received around 14,5 times less, R$47 thousand.

Another interesting fact about Mir's payment is that the amount, despite already being so different from Duffee, as well as the rest of the athletes competing on the card, does not include the bonus for the knockout victory in the main fight of the night, an amount not computed by the Commission California athletics in their relationship.

The event's highest-paid Brazilian, Rany Yahia, who beat Massanori Kanehara, took home around R$116. Too many Brazilian athletes on the card, Jessica Pile Driver, Ildemar Marajó and Igor Araújo received, respectively, R$102 thousand, R$80 thousand and R$52 thousand.
