#226 UFC Lawsuit Reveals (Lack Of) Fighter Pay

The ongoing class action lawsuit against the UFC resulted in the unsealing of evidence that revealed past fighter payouts from athletes including Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Anderson Silva and more.

This podcast will break down the revealed financial information from the lawsuit, how it compares to the typical boxing split, and what the information has revealed about the UFC’s business practices.
