That’s the problem is they aren’t increasing fighter pay. Has your head been in the sand?

Why are you spreading lies? You know damn well fighter pay has increased big time. Who is paying lower tier fighters more than the ufc?

Ngannou made a huge mistake and is a dumbass rrying to represent himself. Despite that the ufc was gonna overpay him and he turned it down thinking he was some big draw. Lets see how that plays out for him.

As for Nickal, the dude is coming off of the contender series and is being built up. What are you expecting him to get paid? He wins a couple of more fights and will be getting 6-7 figures and will be made into a star assuming he keeps winning. How many people heard of the name bo nickal before the fight the other night? Very fricking few besides the 3 wrestling fans and hardcore ufc fans.

I like the ufc model. Everybody wants to get paid more but it is hard enough to get these guys to fight. You pretty much made the point already the ones that are highly paid sit out to get more money. Imagine what would happen if the lower to mid toer fighters started making way more than they make now. Not only that but what other combat sport pays more??
