By Nick Thomas I think the fact that EliteXC is paying a guy like Kimbo $500,000 is almost insulting to other "real" mixed martial artists. If I were Jake Shields, who is a legitimate top 170-pound fighter, I would be very upset and angry. He's supposed to be a cornerstone of the organization and he's gettin...

By Chart Topper Roger Huerta created some waves recently talking about his dissatisfaction with how the UFC has treated him, saying he doesn’t necessarily care if he keeps fighting for them or if it’s for someone else. What’s your take on that? How do you feel about the way the UFC treats its fighters? The UFC is in a position now where they can pay their fighters better and I think that’s only going to improve and I’ve always been happy with the way they’ve treated me. This is where I started and I’d love to finish here. Every fighter’s experience is different, though. People will be in your ear and tell you things about who’s getting paid what, and of course everyone always wants to get paid more. But I can’t speak for Roger.
