Paul has been campaigning for increased fighter’s pay as well as long-term healthcare. The boxer joined ‘Stephen A’s World’ on ESPN MMA to talk about the changes he wants to make within the promotion. He has also gone to the extent of investing in UFC’s parent company ‘Endeavor’. He hopes to be able to bring about some changes which will fairly compensate the fighters.

Paul agrees it will be a long battle but is willing to go all the way through. He said, “I’m not saying I’m gonna, you know, do this whole thing by myself. But I’m not going to give up, I’m not going to stop until there is change because that’s how this generation is, man. We get what we want, you know, with our voice, with our platform… That’s through the power of social media and it’s a beautiful thing.”
“But we will see change and you will see the UFC pay their fighters more. You will see long-term healthcare before I die,” he added.
