UFC heavyweight Matt Mitrione recently joined that Three Amigos Podcast and discussed his own situation with the UFC and his qualms with the pay scale:
“I don’t necessarily agree that it’s going to have to force a trickle down to everybody else because they — the UFC — don’t care. They’re going to say, ‘Yeah, Conor’s making $100 million, so you’re going to take 10 [thousand] and 10 and you’re going to like it, or your just not going to fight and that’s all there is to it. Like Paige [VanZant] and Sage [Northcutt], they get paid more than I do. I’ve had 13 fights in the UFC — should’ve been 14 with [Stefan] Struve — and Paige and Sage both get paid more than I do. That’s ridiculous.”
