Swanson: Biggest UFC stars should fight for our future ‘instead of crying over who the GOAT is’

A bunch of UFC stars have individually voiced their concerns as of late or stated concerns about fighter pay. Most notably, the last couple of weeks have seen light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and BMF titlist Jorge Masvidal both publicly clash with Dana White and ask to be released, while two-division champ Henry Cejudo retired from the sport.

Long time MMA vet Cub Swanson wants changes as well, but he believes change will only happen if the top UFC stars banded together to organize. He pointed out that the one of the rare times UFC stars actually grouped together to discuss something, was for pointless GOAT debates.
