RIO DE JANEIRO -- Jose Aldo always campaigned for a fighters’ union, and says that UFC president Dana White tried to convince him that it would be bad business for him.
The UFC interim featherweight champion, who hopes to get his contract terminated with the promotion and walk away from the sport, revealed during a media scrum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Wednesday morning, that White told him he would get paid less if such an union was created.
"Not only now that I’m the one being affected, but I always talked about it and defended better things for Brazilian athletes," Aldo said.
