 | Mixed Martial Artish Staff February 1 | Dana White, who once got caught on camera in a club being physical with his wife then slapping her twice, has heard your whining about fighter pay and he is tired of it. Rebutting the latest round of fighter pay complaints. White pushed back by pointing to the case of Jim Miller, a man who has made a few million dollars during his career despite it being entirely unremarkable beyond his possession of the most fights in UFC history, most wins in UFC history, second most finishes in UFC history, second most submissions in UFC history, fourth most fight night performance bonuses in UFC history and fifth most cage time in UFC history. The rebuttal likely serves as a case closed on any fighter pay accusations, as reports that the UFC's own internal fighter pay study showed the organization lagging substantially behind that of its professional sports peers are not enough to counter the fact that a fighter who never won more than seven straight fights in the UFC's toughest division or reached higher than #2-contender has been able to carve out a comfortable living off just 46 appearances in the world's biggest organization. | | | |
