MMA fighters are way underpaid. Meanwhile the UFC execs make millions.
Empty statement. Tell us what you think both the fighters & UFC executives should be making.
One thing you idiots don’t realize is that all of these guys have contracts. So these figures here are just bonus fight money. They still have an annual salary they get paid. This is just bonus money for the fights.
Ur the fu*king idiot….cause even UFC legends like frye,shamrock,rutten,randleman,and so on say these fighters need to get paid more $$$$….everybody thinks that…if one word can sum u up in a nut shell it would be…..STUPID!!!!!
