UFC President Dana White on Friday brushed off welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal’s sudden outburst over pay as a standard fight business complaint – amped up by the coronavirus pandemic.
After Masvidal blasted the promotion over an alleged pay cut in a title fight against champ Kamaru Usman, White reiterated his current position on those who want the UFC to shell out more money.
“I said it when we were going through the pandemic and the media was asking me, ‘What if the fighters are worried and don’t want to fight?’” White told reporters during a media scrum following the official UFC 250 weigh-ins.
