The pay days may not be what they should be, but for veterans of the sport, the current purses in MMA are much larger than they used to be. The business is getting bigger and stars like Conor McGregor are creating an environment much like when professors grade on a curve because a student does so well on a test. While Nate Diaz and Tyron Woodley may not get their <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/nate-diaz\/tyron-woodley-offers-solution-nate-diazs-money-demands\/\">$5 million to show\/$5 million to win<\/a> clause, it shows the potential direction that the UFC is headed.
