Nothing, there is no Gracie fighting for WFA.
Royce was rumored 1.3-1.5 million dollars for his UFC comeback though last month.

Yeah, 1.3 or 1.5 million dollars to Royce Gracie is the rumored figure. I believe even Dana White quoted that number in an interview or a newspaper article somewhere.

WFA better be able to deliver some gigantic buyrates if they're going to go around paying a bunch of guys that kind of money.

I agree with you Lethal. It will be hard for WFA to continue to pay guys top quality money if they don't get enough PPV buys and ticket sales. I'm interested to see how they will do, and how long they will be able to continue to do it. I will definitely be ordering this one though.
