Several days ago, former Olympic Silver medalist and UFC title challenger Sara McMann revealed that she had retained legal counsel and planned to approach the UFC with issues of ‘gender inequity' in the new Reebok uniform policy.
Apart from the general financial concerns that the majority of fighters share, McMann revealed that the deal presents a strong case for gender inequality. According to McMann, since the women's bantamweight division was only added approximately two years ago, the vast majority of female fighters would be herded into the lowest tier on the compensation scale.
"I feel like this is a really touchy subject just because if you look at the numbers and you look at the facts, there could be a strong case for gender inequity in the way this deal is presented," McMann said on The MMA Hour.
