Aldo wants UFC fighters to receive monthly salaries, thinks union could 'protect athletes'

Jose Aldo believes a monthly salary fighters would be a good way to deal with all of the expenses a fighter must go through, and he still wants fighters to unionize.

Vitor Belfort already brought this subject up before the Reebok deal first started, but now UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo, fully supports the idea of fighters receiving a monthly salary to help pay the bills, which according to him, could amount to expensive numbers.

Even though Aldo himself lives in a comfortable situation, he says things can get rather difficult for those who are just beginning.
