Later many fighters jumped on the bandwagon and started criticizing UFC for their fight purses. Fighters such as Kamaru Usman, Paolo Costa, Miesha Tate, Jared Cannonier etc are some of those who were vocal about the whole issue.
While this is an extremely important topic to discuss there has not been anything similar to tackle this problem. UFC president Dana White has also claimed that everything is just fine and there is no need for any changes.

“Fighters always wanna make more money. Boxing has absolutely been destroyed because of money and all the things that go on. It’s never gonna happen while I’m here. Believe me, these guys get paid what they’re supposed to get paid. They eat what they kill. They get a percentage of the pay-per-view buys, and
money is spread out amongst all the fighters. If you don’t like it, there’s a simple solution to this problem. Go start your own MMA organization, no barrier to entry.”
The discussion about fighters’ pay is something that will be a heated topic for debate for a long time. These exchanges between fighters, UFC and fans will continue till a good solution is found.
