Dustin Poirier has been trying to negotiate for better pay recently. Even his potential opponent in Tony Ferguson have joined in his efforts, urging the UFC to “pay the man” and put on the fight that fans want.
Unfortunately for the former interim champion, the UFC hasn’t budged with his request, with Dana White saying they’re not even trying to salvage the bout.
The UFC President again addressed the issue, and he brought up the same line he has always said whenever champions and stars have tried to negotiate for better pay.
