Juliana Pena recently spoke to Fox Sports about the pay scale in professional MMA and expressed that she believes woman should be paid significantly more than men:
“It is starting to get more popular for women now, and especially because women are starting to see other women can do it and they’re feel empowered by that.”
Peña isn’t just addressing the UFC when she says that there’s inequality when comparing the pay structure between men and women, but changes are happening, especially after seeing a fighter like Rousey rise to the top of the salary list after just two-plus years inside the promotion.
“In my opinion, women rule the world. We are the neck and we make the head turn,” Peña said. “I feel like that’s the way that it should be and I feel like, if anything, we deserve to get paid 10 times more than the men. Sorry to say, but that’s just me being a female and me also wanting more money.
