Many UFC fighters have long complained about not being paid enough, but recently, more top stars are being vocal about the issue.
Multiple fighters have either held out, retired, and/or asked to be released from their contracts in Jon Jones, Jorge Masvidal, Henry Cejudo, and late last night after UFC 250, Conor McGregor. Even more veteran fighters took to social media about the issue as well, banking on top stars finally organizing to help all the athletes.
When asked why there has been more unrest about fighter pay, Dana White called it a stupid question, and (again) stated that most of the media will be laid off soon.
