Beast has fought for the UFC just eight times, but he became one of the biggest pay-per-view stars in the sport’s history during his brief run. The wrestling champion of WWE has drawn a lot of young fans with his violent nature. He made a guaranteed $2.5 million purse for his victory over Hunt last year, along with likely millions in undisclosed bonuses.
