Before he started his acting career he was the Karate Middleweight champion for 6 years, broke the record for most tournaments won in a year and was named Fighter of the year by Black Belt magazine. He became an actor after all of this occurred, not before.

probably goes to expenses, as well as to repair their damages, and try to keep them afloat
after they are forced to retire. I wouldnt be surprised if half these guys are under the most
seedy contracts you have ever imagined.

UFC 100, which took place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, had a total disclosed payroll of $1,790,000.
The payroll figure does not include a $400,000 that was awarded for "fight night" bonuses that were handed out after the event. Each award winner received a record $100,000.
UFC 100, the UFC's heavily promoted and long-awaited milestone event, drew a soldout crowd estimated at 11,000 and – assuming the preliminary figures hold up – the second-largest gate in UFC history with $5.1 million in ticket sales.
A few disclaimers regarding the salaries can be found below. However, it's also worth noting that fighters such as Lesnar and St. Pierre also earn a portion of the pay-per-view revenue. In fact, Lesnar reportedly will make approximately $3 million from the fight even before the majority of his sponsorship money is tallied.
The full payouts for the event included:
Jon Fitch: $90,000 (includes $45,000 win bonus)
def. Paulo Thiago: $8,000
Brock Lesnar: $400,000 (no win bonus)
def. Frank Mir: $45,000
Georges St-Pierre: $400,000 ($200,000 win bonus)
def. Thiago Alves: $60,000
Dan Henderson: $250,00 ($150,000 win bonus)
def. Michael Bisping: $150,000
Yoshihiro Akiyama: $60,000 ($20,000 win bonus)
def. Alan Belcher: $19,000
Mark Coleman: $100,000 ($50,000 win bonus)
def. Stephan Bonnar: $25,000
Jim Miller: $22,000 ($11,000 win bonus)
def. Mac Danzig: $20,000
Jon Jones: $18,000 ($9000 win bonus)
def. Jake O'Brien: $13,000
Dong Hyun Kim: $58,000 ($29,000 win bonus)
def. T.J. Grant: $5,000
Tom Lawlor: $16,000 ($8,000 win bonus)
def. C.B. Dollway: $14,000
Shannon Gugerty: $10,000 ($5,000 win bonus)
def. Matt Grice: $7,000
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.
Malenko here, if I could punch and knock out lesnar and make 3 million, yeah, Id do it.
CCM:
Also, with the top guys in the UFC, Lesnar being one of them, they also get a percentage of the PPV money. That's how Lesnar got up to around 3 million at UFC 100.

I swore Ive seen a version of the film where he actually lands a standing high kick
to Kareems head. I have to check my old LaserDisc copy. Also have to check
the "Lost Footage". Still, Lee Does kick Kareem several times. Usually after
making him bend down a bit, by kicking / punching him in the gut.
--- Quote ---I think you need to go back to the first few ufc & pancrase and watch some of them as there were real martial arts blackbelts in there doing real fighting on film live in front of real people.

Ive seen that pathetic crap. A bunch of armatures fighting under rules that
favor ground fighters. Its bad enough the ease of getting a Blackbelt in these
modern days (no offense Saint. Everywhere is different, and so are the times)
But people who entered were usually the kind of people who fought for points...
and or were not as skilled as they would have you believe. A Chef does not
walk into a fast-food cooking competition... where he is limited to using
sub-standard ingredients and limitations. Such a thing would tarnish his
reputation, and strongly reduce his chances of winning anyways. It would not
represent him, and what he has learned, properly at all.
But what it really boils down to... is that you can not accurately represent an
art truthfully in a mere sport setting. Anyone with a brain should be able to
deduce this... yet it amazes me how many it seems to elude. I feel sad for
humanity :'(
--- Quote ---most of the above is total BS like the 1 million dollar offer to fight him.

Actually, Its Not. I have a Laserdisc documentary film that shows the actual
newspaper. The Documentary was released by Warner Bros., so Id be fairly
confident in the documentary's factual content.
The fanboys of todays era always want to believe that no fighter of the past
could equal or destroy what can be seen today. This egotistical way of
thinking... leads to self delusion. Its why you dont actually pick up a book
and find out the truths. You simply dont want to know, and dont want to
believe.
Lee was an Excellent fighter. But, Id be willing to bet, that there
were far better fighters back several hundreds to thousands of years ago.
Back then, they had the time to devote entire lifetimes to martial development...
And, they often needed to use it on a regular basis.
--- Quote ---I also think you meant he was so fast they had to slow the video down so it could be seen but that's really funny becuase everyone in the room must be just as lighting fast and even better timing then him to react to avoid getting hit every single time.
--- End quote ---
No. When a camera is Recording (Filming), it is usually at 24 frames per second.
To make Lee appear to be moving slower... They had to speed up the reels, so
that it was something like 35 frames per second. When they played back the
film at NORMAL speed, the extra frames made the film Longer... thus Slower than
real life speed.
Its easy to forgive a person for being ignorant of details... But its quite another,
to forgive a person who tries to correct you about a subject he has No
advanced knowledge of. Its just Amazingly pathetic and purely infantile.
As for the others... If you have ever seen a Lee film, you would know that
almost all the people he fights take a hit, and do not get to react. The few
who Do react, have been trained by Lee. Just as seen in the Norris-Lee fight,
where Norris is seen using fast wing-chun style hand traps & redirects.
And Yes, many artists can be fast. Especially when directed in a trained
sequence. However, Lee, besides being naturally quick, had the martial skill to be
able to be fast under Live fighting conditions.

On Jaa's Official Website Bios:
" As a child Panom raised elephants and each day would leap up onto the backs of two baby elephants, Flower and Leaf, and did so every day for many years; as the elephants grew so did his jumping abilities. "
Ok, so maybe not completely Over them. But fairly accurate. Anyone seeing
Jaa jump and or jump kick, can immediately know the man has trained seriously.
