UFC President: “All these fucking morons have no idea what goes into this and what it takes to build a sport and a company at the same time”

Obscurity doesn’t pay very well in the ranks of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where the hardscrabble gym rats who grapple in the mixed martial arts league’s octagon-shaped rings earn a tiny fraction of what their bigger-name counterparts make. But after high-profile fighters recently began echoing critics of the sport’s inequality—former welterweight competitor Jon Fitch among them—UFC President and Chief Executive Officer Dana White felt the need to respond.

His solution: scrap the current policy of fight-night bonuses that tends to benefit UFC’s stars. “You don’t like the structure? All right, we’ll pay the lower-level guys more money—no more f-‍-‍-ing bonuses,” White told the website MMA Junkie. “You guys come in, you negotiate your contracts, and we do away with the bonuses. That’s what I’m thinking about doing.” Clearly irritated, White continued to pounce on his critics. “All these f-‍-‍-ing morons have no idea what goes into this and what it takes to build a sport and a company at the same time,” he said. “And we’ve been very fair to guys.”
