The UFC has been under fire for years when it comes to the hot-button issue of fighter pay.
Courtesy of a recent report from Anton Tabuena and John S. Nash of BloodyElbow, we now have a better idea of the promotion’s underhanded negotiating tactics. Perhaps even more disgusting is how some of the UFC’s top dogs, including CEO Dana White, celebrated their victories at the expense of the talent that line their pockets.
This past week, exchanges between White, former UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta, and ex-matchmaker Joe Silva were brought to light courtesy of a class action lawsuit filed against the promotion by a slew of past and present fighters, including Cung Le and Jon Fitch.
