The UFC is the biggest MMA promotion in the world; It is one of the major promotions, regardless of the sport. However, compared to other sports, the UFC pays their fighters drastically less. Thus, many fighters, fans, and experts have raised their voices for the fighters to get more money, including the UFC veteran commentator, Joe Rogan.

On the JRE podcast with Andrew Schulz, Rogan discussed the issue around fighters’ pay.

He said, “I think they should get paid more. I think everybody should get paid more. I think it’s a crazy way to make a living, I think, you should get the most amount of money you can possibly get. But it’s also a business. And I think that if they are struggling as much as I think they are. I don’t talk finances with them, but I know that WME, people who own it, they are hurt, bad.”

“But you know when it comes to me, as a, as a human that likes fighting. I, I know how f**king dangerous that sh*t is. You should get paid an incredibly generous amount of money to step into a cage fight for millions of people to see.”
