All the Gracies are this way, you have to pay a LOT extra to get them to fight because their name is the best marketing tool there is in MMA, and they know it.

On the same hand, you never see any truly great strikers fight either. Why? Because a big card professional boxing match pays a lot more and carries less risk. This is especially true of the very early UFC fights when it was a tournament. What was the initial prize, $25K or $50K? You had to win three fights for that money too. Something to think about.
