Henry Cejudo.
Jon Jones.
Jorge Masvidal.
Conor Mcgregor.

4 of the current biggest stars in UFC have all announced retirement/walking away for lack of substantial pay.

The fighters are finally getting smart.
That’s already 4 of Dana’s biggest stars. I say one more big name threatens to walk away and Dana will have to compensate a little more moolah for this best fighters.

Yup and just a few weeks ago people on here were saying UFC fighters get paid equivalent to boxers and some make even more due to endorsements lmao the biggest stars are leaving they better start paying up or nobody is going to watch their promotion if the best athletes in it start revolting what other big names do they have at the moment besides Khabib and Adesanya. Nunes cleaned out both divisions and Heavyweight is at a standstill.

I don't understand Conors complaint though he got paid 30 million for fighting Donald Cerrone that is like Mayweather making 30 million for fighting Diego Chaves.

Lol. Where are the boxing fans on the site that boxers should be like UFC fighters with pay?

The thing is Conor needs to realize that his pays were based on Mayweather promotion. Also UFC fighters are ****** to White. The UFC is an employment agency like commercial American wrestling ala Vince McMahon. Same model. Boxing is a different industry.

He needs UFC more than he thinks. It's not necessarily the money but it Keeps him significant in his world....

No drama, no limelight, no McGregor

And I thought you didn’t want to leave the island. What the hell are you doing here?

He will obviously be back at some point, as will Cejudo. The guy is just a diva who is desperate to maximise/protect his "brand". He knows that coming back and fighting regularly will drop his stock even further because unless he can make FW again he will likely pick up more losses. Khabib beats him 90% of the time and he would get eaten alive trying to face elite WWs. So he just wants to see how long he can live off **** he did 4-5 years ago. The guy hasnt gotten a legit win since 6 months before Joshua fought Wlad for ****s sake.
