The UFC built a gigantic roster and built the sport. Creating a point of interest all over the world. Also, the UFC platform is worth more than any amount of money. 100% of extremely wealthy athletes make their money utilizing the platform they have been given. You can't hate the UFC and simultaneously like losing fighters like nate diaz, you're a goldfish. UFC is intentionally run the way it is, and everyone wants to change it to boxing.

[@Rick-bi9fw]

@JA-1993 No, he's not. PFL will make their money back after the first boxing match with Fury. He's pretending ufc doesn't have money to pay literally everyone more money, and they do. They pay Laura sanko and John anik more than most of the roster. Ufc just bought WWE for over 10 billion dollars, and joe doesn't ask where they get the money for this.
