Filed under: Featured , News , UFC So it turns out that Phil “ CM Punk ” Brooks is not only one of the worst fighters to ever debut in the UFC, he’s also one of the highest paid. This isn’t exactly surprising news, but it’s still stubbornly affecting. If you looked around the MMA Twitterverse after news of disclosed payouts from UFC 203 emerged on Monday, you saw plenty of fighters feeling some kind of way about those numbers. The former pro wrestler with zero fights to his credit made half a million bucks just for showing up, and that doesn’t even factor in rumors of points on Saturday’s pay-per-view broadcast from Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Was it more than he deserved? Depends what you think that word means
