It's no different than boxing. You work your way to the top. Do you honestly believe someone who has only a few fights to their name and virtually zero credible opponents deserve pay that is somewhere within the range of the top fighters?

One could argue that Lesnar did not fight his way to the top.. but he handled Herring. If he had not, he most certainly would not have been given a shot at Couture and thus, main event money..

Besides, plenty of fighters have been given title shots after an upset win.

I'm not going to deny that he's been treated differently, but he's also delivered. He was given a huge opportunity but he made the most of it. People don't realize the pressure that Lesnar was facing in the Herring fight not do they relize the pressure he is facing now after handling Couture. The man is willing to put his career on the line fight after fight because as he's stated.. he wants to be nothing but the best. I wish more championship fighters would take that stance..
