I want everyone in the UFC to make as much money as they can, Northcutt told MMAjunkie. Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, the money they are making, they are setting the bar for us. The better everyone can make, the better for all of us too. Everyone in the UFC should want to make as much money as they can. I want the best and the most money everyone can make in the UFC.
Although Northcutt would like to see MMA payouts go up, he also said he knows promoters don’t exist to provide handouts. He said every fighter should bring something unique to the table, and with Northcutt’s undefeated record, exciting fighting style and polarizing personality, he said he fits that description.
I think and I believe that I bring something different to the table – something that makes people want to tune in and watch, Northcutt said. (Fighters need to bring) something that’s of value to the UFC. I think that’s really important with the UFC, and people can see that with me.
