    I have said this many times, and will continue to say it again. The only way for Dana and the UFC to have a change of heart and start paying fighters what they deserve is if there is enough competition from other fight leagues. If Bellator and the PFL would combine like the AFC and NFC did to make the NFL, they would be big enough to challenge the UFC for the best fighters, and to drive fighter pay and benefits up to where they should be.

    • @Youssef-hd5bl
      @Youssef-hd5bl ปีที่แล้ว

      competition is bliss in every field, but it's hard to compete with the ufc right now. i think the ufc has more fighters than all other organizations, so I think they're paying their fighters. and if a fighter wants more then he gotta bring numbers .

    • @TheDegenerateTravler
      @TheDegenerateTravler ปีที่แล้ว

      Then nfl has no competition and it pays players more. It lays players more because way more people watch it and they sell thousands of times more merch. The ufc is new and has to invest in growing the audience. They pay based on who brings a audience which I think is fair. The fighters are getting what they give.

      @@TheDegenerateTravler You seem to have done very little to no research on the NFL, or the UFC. The NFL has traditionally had many different competing leagues, (CFL, Arena football, XFL, USFL), they failed because unlike the UFC, the NFL has a players union, healthcare coverage, and a percentage of the profits are guaranteed to go to the players/coaches/staff. The UFC is NOT new, and MMA has been a thing since the 1990's (UFC 1 was in 1993).
