It’s no secret that UFC fighters get short-changed when it comes to their dealings with the biggest MMA promotion on the planet. The low revenue share, lack of collective bargaining and overreaching contracts that UFC fighters have to contend with are unlike anything professional athletes experience in other top sports.
Recently Randy Couture, who has long advocated for fighter rights, specifically in the form of expanding the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act to include MMA, recently spoke at length with MMA Fighting about the current state of MMA.
With that outlet the former UFC heavyweight champion touched on Jake Paul, of all people, and commented on how the ‘Problem Child’ was bringing some issues regarding fighter pay to the forefront.
