Stipe Miocic is the most successful Heavyweight Champion in MMA history. He holds the record for most Heavyweight title defenses ever in an extremely difficult sport where just one mistake can cost a fighter the entire bout.
He beat the UFC's highly touted and anticipated new fighter Francis Ngannou the sledgehammer hitting behemoth of a man from Cameroon with flying colors last week in their championship bout, but he was only paid $600k a mere $100k more than his unproven challenger.
Miocic didn't allow Dana White, the UFC's president, to hand him the belt in protest. I don't blame him.
He's the Champion and got secondary promotion and second rate salary compared to the challenger Francis Nnagannou who got dominated by him in every round.
Fighters have been complaining about the compensation in the world's biggest Mixed Martial Arts organization the UFC for years.
Many fighters have to get second jobs after headlining major TV and PPV events.
When will regulators step in and protect these athletes from the bullying monopoly of the UFC?
