And then he pulled out of the fight with butt hurt. True story.

Maybe don't pull out of fights and cost the UFC millions of dollars
Do what you love.So why didn't he become an engineer or a medical doctor?
Or go into the NBA or NFL? I heard they pay a lot.

Did they pay his medical insurance?
The world is not obligated to pay you money to do what you love.
If I had to guess he probably had a proficiency and passion for fighting.So why didn't he become an engineer or a medical doctor?

The world is not obligated to do anything, Yet there are a lot of occupations that have fair compensation because they have strived to get them. Why should MMA fighters not strife to get fair compensation?
UFC makes a lot of money with THEM idiotThe world is not obligated to pay you money to do what you love.
Who is generating more money - the top golfers / football / basketball players? Or cage-fighters?
Now, who is in a stronger bargaining position?

Yes, other athletes are in a better bargaining positions. That's very apparent and nobody is denying that. Why should they not want a better bargaining position? Why should they just accept an unfair position, because they didn't choose an career lane where these things have already been sorted out?
He should go get a different job . He didnt know the pay when he got into this line of work ?This was a couple days before the fight. I'm surprised it went overlooked. Dana can't be happy about this.

"UFC fighters are “sorely underpaid for what we do.”
“It’s just one of those things when UFC has monopolized the whole sport and if you want to make it in the field you have to fight with the UFC,” Whittaker said. “When they’re the only ones that own the sport, they can pay you what they like.”
Gave him a 50% off coupon for Reebok, but you have to spend $100+ for it to work.Did they pay his medical insurance?
It’s not an unfair position.
The UFC is paying them plenty given what they’re worth..
UFC is making much more than they deserve anyways. A famous Boxing promoter says one time something like.. we gave 70% of the earning to the fighters.. and Dana gives like 20%Listen up cocksucker, the fighters are making plenty of money with the UFC.
How much were they making without the UFC? $2k a night? LOL
It is if the UFC wants to legitimize itself as a real sport, which Dana promotes it as such. Thing is, the UFC is a joke sport and until the base pay catches up to the real sports, and Dana White quits trashing the fans and its employees, then can we start to take this "SPORT" more seriously.The world is not obligated to pay you money to do what you love.
