Jack Della Maddalena recently defended the UFC's pay structure amidst criticism highlighted in the documentary "Dark Side of the UFC." He argues that disparities in pay are necessary to provide incentives for fighters to excel, stating, 'If the bottom guys get paid as much as the top guys, there would be no incentive to get to the top.' Despite low pay for newcomers, many fighters accept their contracts willingly, indicating a complex relationship with the UFC's structure. Maddalena recently won the welterweight title and is poised for a high-stakes match against Islam Makhachev.
I love this company and everything it stands for. If you don't like the contract, don't sign it. If the bottom guys get paid as much as the top guys, there would be no incentive to get to the top.
Maddalena's support highlights the ongoing debate about UFC pay structure, where fighters at different levels earn vastly different amounts, often criticized for limiting competition.
