Some of the most successful fighters in the world might make $30k-$60k in their entire career. All the meanwhile UFC has been shown to use monopolistic tactics to hold the market and rob the fighters.
That’s a good way to get on Dana’s shitlist.

This probably isn’t the first thing to land him on Dana’s shitlist, nor will it be the last 😂

I think it will be the last because I don’t think he’s getting another fight

I wish these guys had the courage to unionize. It would drastically improve their pay. The highest paid stars need to lead and support the effort. Fuck Dana and co, they know it’s inevitable, probably just pleasantly surprised it’s taking so long. Happy to see Francis Ngannou free and doing well.

He speaks the truth. The climb to become a talented fighter risks all kinds of traumatic brain injury - for what, a half years’ real wage? Train your brain people, you’ll have a better outcome.
