‘UFC fighters are still the worst paid athletes’ - Ex-champ Sean Sherk has ‘stories’ to tell too

You can add former lightweight champion Sean Sherk to the growing list of the UFC’s critics about the company’s current fighter pay scale. In a recent Facebook post, the 47-year-old ‘Muscle Shark’ had this to say.

I think the UFC should be extremely embarrassed by the fact that their former champions and top ranked fighters have to go fight YouTube stars with barely any fighting experience and make 10 times more money than they do in the UFC.

I’ve been retired for 10 years and nothing has changed in that organization. UFC fighters are still the worst paid athletes on the biggest stage.
