    Has he lost his mind???

    http://ufcjunkie.com/2007/02/11/repo...0000-per-fight

    Ok, so he's got 1 fight left on his contract which means he won't get a le shot until after he re-signs for more fights. If he's going to be unrealistic, Dana should do 1 of 2 things...

    1. Stick him on an untelivised slot on an Ultimate Fight Night against some spare HW that has 1 fight left on his contract so he can go sign with whoever. If Elite is offering that kind of money, I don't think they'll be around too long...

    2. Feed him to Crocop this summer. If Vera thinks he's worth ridiculous money, let him prove it...

    Personally, I LOVE option 2...

    UFC 70 in England...Crocop crushes Kongo's spare ass.
    UFC 72...Crocop crushes Vera.
    UFC 74...Crocop crushes Timmy.

    bad decision. an asking price of a cool mil is just ridiculous. though, 200,000 for a vera calibur fighter is kinda low balling also.

    Crocop got $370k for his last fight
    Chuck got $250k
    o got $210k
    Rampage got $170k
    (don't include PPV pay)

    I'd be fine with Vera getting $200k per fight since he is a solid up and coming fighter, but I don't think it's low-balling relative to what everybody else gets....

    Vera is a solid UFC'r, not a jap leaguer who needs to come to the UFC to make it big time.

    Pay attention kids.

    It's be funny as if Jake would beat Vera after upsetting Herring.

    One of his teammates was on the card. He appeared in the promo talking about him...

    but he's definitely had offers to sign with them...

    Sounds like the UFC isn't going to pay him what he wants so they're giving him a fight with O'Brien instead of a le fight, then letting him walk...
