Ex-UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold goes off on UFC fighter pay

Luke Rockhold's UFC career goes all the way back to the Strikeforce acquisition in 2013. He hasn't been impressed with what has happened to fighter pay in the time since.

With the UFC's compensation in the news once again thanks to a Dana White quote (which he wishes people would stop aggregating), the former UFC middleweight champion went off on the subject ahead of his fight with Paulo Costa at UFC 278 on Saturday.

Rockhold specifically took issue with a lack of increase in fighter pay relative to the UFC's growth in recent years and a lack of health care support.
