Give it 3 years, then we'll see what the salaries look like.

LOL, you are kidding me right, I hate to say it but you're being blinded by the UFC... there is MMA outside of the UFC. You don't have to wait just take a look at what Pride FC is paying their fighters. It isn't just luck that they have the top fighters... it's because they pay for the best. UFC takes their sweet time before giving a fighter what they should get, it's feast or famine and i don't see it changing anytime soon as long as they keep ranking in the PPV's while not handing out the payrolls.... thats unless Pride's invasion of the USA is a success. Then maybe the UFC will be forced to treat their fighters with the respect they should have.
