    Schaub contests that the UFC pays out 7% gross to the fighters and that discretionary bonuses are smoke-and-mirrors. Anik says the percentage is closer to 35% but can't back it up with any evidence. He defends the UFC and rolls through the typical lines (near bankruptcy last decade, sport isn't very old, etc.) but admits people will call him a shill regardless. They also talk about the ramifications of the Reebok deal.
