Sean Strickland Slams UFC's Fighter Recruitment Strategy
Briefly

Sean Strickland voices dissatisfaction over the increasing presence of foreign fighters in the UFC, attributing it to the organization’s failure to adequately compensate American fighters. He argues that the entry-level fight purses are insufficient for Americans, particularly due to high living costs. In contrast, foreign fighters are willing to accept lower pay. While acknowledging that top-tier fighters earn well, he highlights that entry-level pay is less than what one could earn at Walmart. Strickland's remarks have reignited discussions around pay equality and the impact on American representation in the sport.
The problem with the UFC dude is that they don't pay anybody, they don't pay guys s-t.
You're gonna have an entire roster full of just foreigners... it's fun to go watch two f--ing Dagestani cavemen fight but at some point, they're not American.
