He lost his Dad for Christ's sake. You'd have a few issues if you lost your dad so young. He's a good kid-trying to deal with life and some bad luck. I feel for him-and anyone else who lost someone would too. You're gonna be ok Jon-just maintain......... Cut Jon some slack. He lost his Dad for Christ’s sake.

At 4-5K a fight (which is about average for a rookie TUFfer) its a slim living. If he gets some bonuses he'll pretty well. That contract just means that the UFC doesn't have to pay him much unless he does well enough in the ring to renegotiaite it.[/quote] Is it only 4k-5k per fight? I thought those TUF contracts were $6k-$8k, I could be wrong though. I think the standard pay for TUF fighters that did not win the show, should be $8K per fight, that way if they win they take home $16,000 which isnt a bad pay day for 4 months of work... Fight hard and win a few Bonus's and they are making some decent money. [quote comment="324351"][quote comment="324347"]10 fight contract?! holy hell that dude is set for life.[/quote]

WM wasnt the one who choked the guy out, he was there while one of his friends did it. He held Zutkow. Im not saying that that is ok, but know the story before you guys get so angry.
