White recently stated that boxing has been ruined by fighters getting overpaid, and he would never let that happen to the UFC. The UFC president has now slammed MMA news outlets for writing a serious fighter pay story from his "fun" interview with GQ. White recently said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports: "You're a typical scumbag, piece of shit, f***ing journalist if you f***ing write a story off some f***ing goofy, fun GQ f***ing interview and you write a f***ing serious fighter pay story about it?

No, I’m shocked Dana White asks fighters to start their own MMA organizations if they have problems with UFC pay structure Dana White and the UFC have come under heavy criticism in recent times regarding fighter pay. Unlike other major sports leagues like the NBA, the NFL, or other MMA promotions like Bellator and the PFL, the UFC only pays a small amount of its total revenue share to fighters. However, UFC President Dana White claims that fighters "eat what they kill". The 53-year-old also stated that, unlike boxing, he wouldn't let his promotion get ruined by overpaying fighters. According to White, fighters can always start their own MMA organization if they have a problem with the UFC's pay structure. The UFC boss said in his interview with GQ: "If you don't like it, there's a simple solution to this problem: Go start your own MMA organization. No barrier to entry. Knock yourself out. Pay 'em whatever you want to pay 'em. It's been done before. How's it worked out for other guys? Not well. Mind your business." Watch White's interview with GQ below: Jake Paul, who launched a fighter pay campaign against White, did not miss the opportunity to slam the UFC president's latest comments.
